UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council commissioned a Perinatal Support Service as part of its Start for Life Programme. The requirement is a social care and support service focused on the perinatal period. The council is based in Redcar; the service is for its programme, although the contract does not identify specific delivery sites or detail the support activities.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Family Action was selected as the supplier. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £363,500 excluding VAT (£436,200 including VAT). The contract includes an option to modify it under its terms and conditions. The process was arranged as one lot. No separate award date is stated.

This contract shows that the council buys perinatal support as part of its Start for Life Programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver support services centred on perinatal needs and to work within a local-authority programme. Family Action, a large supplier, was selected through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the outcome does not provide evidence of competitive evaluation criteria or particular accreditations, staffing levels or technical requirements. Suppliers with relevant perinatal-service delivery experience and the capacity to serve the council’s programme are the closest fit.
