UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council commissioned a health and care employment support programme through the Leeds Health and Care Academy. It is intended to help people who are out of work, particularly those disadvantaged in the labour market or in insecure work and at risk of losing their jobs. Support is targeted at people who are economically inactive because of health barriers, under a programme partly funded by the Department for Work and Pensions’ Economic Inactivity Trailblazer. Delivery is expected to contribute to an evaluation. The service falls within vocational education and training services. The named buying organisation is Leeds City Council; delivery is associated with Leeds.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Leeds City Council made a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, and the single lot was completed. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option for one 12-month extension, up to 31 March 2028. The contract value is £63,533 excluding VAT (£76,239 including VAT). The published procurement data does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria.

For comparable future work with Leeds City Council, a credible provider would need to deliver vocational training and employment support for people facing health-related barriers to work, including those who are economically inactive, disadvantaged in the labour market or in insecure employment. The programme’s focus means relevant experience supporting these groups and connecting health and care needs with routes into employment would be important. Providers should also be able to deliver a targeted intervention and contribute evidence to an evaluation, since the programme is expected to feed into one. The contract was awarded directly, without competition, to a large NHS trust, indicating that this requirement was placed with an established local health and care provider. The procurement does not set out formal accreditation or capacity thresholds.
