Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool Borough Council commissioned support services for people whose hoarding affects their wellbeing and for people experiencing self-neglect. The work is community and social support, delivered in Hartlepool. The service is managed by Let’s Connect and described as a collaborative partnership involving Let’s Connect, The Big League CIC and Poolie Time Eco Time CIC. This is a targeted support service addressing the effects of hoarding and self-neglect on individuals, rather than a general social care or property-clearance contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hartlepool Borough Council used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. Let’s Connect (Eng) Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The procurement was arranged as one lot. The published information gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers assessing similar future work for Hartlepool Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for focused support where hoarding and self-neglect affect people’s wellbeing. A credible provider would need to deliver person-centred support in this field and work effectively as part of a collaborative local partnership. The chosen arrangement was managed by Let’s Connect and involved two community organisations, showing the importance of partnership delivery for this service. The contract is modest in scale and was awarded directly without competition, so it provides evidence of the buyer’s approach as well as the service requirement. No particular accreditation, staffing level or specialist qualification is identified.
