Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned welfare and support services from Family Action PAC-UK to deliver the IASA Task & Finish Group. The work covers gathering data and information from the RAA’s, chairing the group, project leadership and consultancy. It also requires organisational experience and lived-experience input to support the group’s work. This is a services contract for activity delivered in Leeds, commissioned by the council as the public authority and buyer. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations that can combine welfare-sector knowledge with structured information gathering, facilitation, programme coordination and consultancy. Family Action PAC-UK is the selected provider and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist organisation rather than only a large national contractor.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Family Action PAC-UK. Leeds City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold and without competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed and awarded on 10 September 2026. Its initial period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option for renewal for 12 months in any combination, allowing the maximum contract end date of 31 March 2028. The awarded contract value is £33,248 gross, including VAT, in GBP. The contract is active. The procurement was arranged as a single lot and the award covers welfare services delivered outside residential institutions. The stated route demonstrates that the council may use a direct, below-threshold approach for this type of specialist requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need demonstrable welfare and support-sector expertise, together with the ability to gather reliable information from RAA’s and turn it into useful findings. The selected model also points to a need for confident chairing, stakeholder facilitation and project leadership, rather than a purely research or administrative service. Consultancy capability should be combined with an understanding of organisational practice and the ability to incorporate lived experience appropriately. A small specialist provider can be well placed where it has recognised subject knowledge, experienced facilitators and the capacity to manage a focused task-and-finish programme. Organisations developing a comparable offer should be able to show relevant welfare-sector delivery, evidence-led engagement, clear reporting and practical coordination for a local authority client.
