Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has completed a direct award contract process for services supporting the Adoption England Strategy, with FRG LTD as the supplier. This procurement, categorized under the 'services' industry with specific reference to 'welfare services for children and young people,' involved a direct procurement method, termed as 'below threshold - without competition'. The contract, valued at approximately £98,908.33, is set to run from 6th August 2026 to 30th September 2026, with the potential for a 12-month extension. The delivery areas cover multiple UK regions, including North East, North West, and Yorkshire and the Humber.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in child welfare and associated services, particularly those proficient in delivering strategic support for government initiatives. Companies with a strong background in public authority collaborations or possessing niche expertise in child-focused welfare services would find this an apt opportunity for growth. Although the contract has already been awarded, similar direct award processes may arise, calling for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like FRG LTD to position themselves as viable candidates for future opportunities.
