UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council commissioned workplace needs assessments, assistive technology training, workplace coaching and disability awareness training. The service is intended to support employees with disabilities, long-term health conditions and neurodiverse needs, including through reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act. This is a workplace support and staff training service, with a health and safety services classification. The contracted provider is responsible for delivering the assessments, training and coaching for the council. The council is based in Wallasey; the procurement does not identify a separate service delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Wirral Council used a below-threshold limited competition and selected Back Care Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, up to 31 March 2030. Its stated value is £21,800 excluding VAT (£26,160 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as one lot. The available procurement details establish the service requirement and selection outcome, but do not set out separate evaluation weightings or eligibility thresholds.

This award shows demand from Wirral Council for joined-up workplace support covering needs assessment, assistive technology, coaching and disability awareness. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate relevant qualifications and experience in workplace assessments and assistive technology, alongside the ability to coach employees and deliver disability awareness training. Credibility depends on understanding disability, long-term health conditions and neurodiversity in employment, and on recommending practical reasonable adjustments consistent with the Equality Act. The council selected a provider through limited competition for a single, defined service rather than awarding separate lots. A supplier able to deliver the assessment, training and coaching elements as a coherent service would therefore be well placed to meet this buyer’s requirement.
