UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned research and evaluation into gambling-related harm in Leeds, as part of a health needs assessment. The work is intended to establish how common gambling harms are locally and identify risk factors. The resulting recommendations will inform the future direction of the council’s work on this issue. This is a public health research service, classified under community health services. The assessment covers Leeds; the procurement describes a single lot for the work. The commissioning organisation is Leeds City Council, through its Public Mental Health and Healthy Living service. The selected provider is New Light Insights CIC, a York-based organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to New Light Insights CIC. Leeds City Council used a direct award, below the threshold and without competition. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, a six-month period. Its value is £28,281.24 including VAT. The assessment is to establish the prevalence and risk of gambling-related harms in Leeds, with recommendations to guide future work. There was one lot. The procurement information does not describe evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the award basis beyond the direct-award route is not reported.

For suppliers seeking similar public health research work, this award shows that Leeds City Council commissions local evidence on gambling-related harm to shape its future activity. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to assess prevalence and risk in a defined local population, conduct research and evaluation, and turn findings into practical recommendations for a council’s public health planning. The work combines health needs assessment with evaluation, so relevant methodological expertise and the ability to communicate usable findings would be important. The selected provider is a York-based small organisation, demonstrating that this requirement was delivered by a specialist-sized supplier rather than a large contractor. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition for this commission; this describes the route used for this contract, not a promise of the route for future work.
