UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council is procuring a community-based domestic abuse support service in Middlesbrough and the surrounding delivery area. The requirement is for community-based provision to protect and support people affected by domestic abuse, combining social support with related community services. It is a public service contract classified under health services, social work and related services, and other community, social and personal services. Suppliers should therefore be positioned to deliver support from a community base and work within domestic abuse support provision. The buyer is Middlesbrough Council, a local public authority. The service is being procured as one overall requirement rather than separate service categories.

The process has reached tender: Middlesbrough Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids are submitted electronically through www.open.uk.org, in English, by 4 September 2026 at 23:59 BST. The planned award decision date is 23 October 2026. The contract is expected to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with an option for two further 12-month extensions, potentially extending the term to 30 November 2031. The estimated total value is £3,798,400 including VAT. Quality carries 85% of the evaluation weighting and price carries 15%. The requirement is above the applicable threshold and is divided into one lot.

This opportunity is suited to organisations that can provide community-based domestic abuse protection and support services. The requirement is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may suit specialist local providers as well as larger organisations with established community-service operations. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those with practical capability in domestic abuse support, community-based delivery and social-work-related services. The strong quality weighting means the ability to demonstrate a credible, high-quality support model is commercially important. Organisations able to deliver the service throughout the contract term, including any extension period, will be better placed to compete.
