Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council commissioned independent supported living services for a young person, through its framework for adults with high-level needs. The work is a social care service delivered in South Tyneside. The contract is a call-off awarded after a mini-competition among suppliers on the framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded to Inspired Care Limited following a mini-competition under the existing framework; the procedure was a call-off without a separately published competition. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and is valued at £1,475,078. The framework end date, used as the contract end date and to calculate the value, is 23 February 2029; the individual call-off ends under the framework’s terms. The evaluation was based entirely on quality, with no price weighting. Three bids were recorded. The lot is marked cancelled in the procurement information, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For providers considering similar work for South Tyneside, this award shows demand for individual supported-living arrangements for young people with high-level needs, procured through the council’s specialist flexible framework and a mini-competition. A credible competitor would need to meet the framework’s requirements and demonstrate the quality of its support offer: quality was the sole stated evaluation basis in this competition. The selected provider is an SME, showing that a smaller supplier can deliver this type of call-off, although the award does not establish that SME status was a selection requirement. The procurement points to a need for providers able to deliver personalised, high-needs supported living under framework terms.
