UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured a support service for customers on the BPL PtW programme. The requirement is classified as other community, social and personal services, indicating a customer-facing support provision rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The council is the buying organisation and the named supplier is BMBC. The procurement relates to service delivery in the United Kingdom, for the council’s programme customers. Businesses active in community support, personal services or related customer assistance may find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can provide structured support to people participating in a council-run programme. The scope published is concise and centres on supporting customers on the PtW programme, so any prospective future supplier would need to examine the council’s detailed requirements when this type of service returns to market.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition because it was below threshold. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to BMBC on 1 August 2026 and signed on the same date. It is active from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a gross and net value of £38,350. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council selected BMBC as the supplier. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category and community, social and personal services as the classification. The award route was a below-threshold direct award without competition, rather than an open tender or multi-supplier competition. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route; no separate scoring criteria or competitive evaluation basis is stated.

This award provides a clear indication that Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council buys targeted customer-support provision for its PtW programme through a small-scale, below-threshold direct-award route. The selected supplier is identified as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, which is relevant evidence for organisations with those characteristics and with experience supporting programme customers. A credible future provider would need to demonstrate the practical ability to deliver customer-facing support for this specific council programme, understand community and personal-service delivery, and operate at a scale suited to a single completed service lot. Organisations without relevant customer-support capability, or whose offer is limited to goods, construction or unrelated professional services, are unlikely to be well matched to this requirement.
