UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council purchased adult art club services for participants in its Pathways to Work programme. The requirement is to provide an art club for adults, supporting people taking part in that employment pathway programme. The work is based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. The procurement is categorised as a service, with the activity described under the broad classification of other services. The buyer is the council; the selected supplier is identified as BMBC. This is a focused, programme-specific requirement rather than a general arts service: the relevant delivery is adult art-club provision for Pathways to Work participants in Barnsley.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to BMBC through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The council signed the contract on 9 September 2026. The award is active, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £7,500 including gross value as reported. There is one lot covering the adult art club service. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award, which was not run as a competitive tender. The award relates to the full stated requirement, with delivery in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

For suppliers considering similar future work with Barnsley Council, this award indicates a small, time-limited requirement for adult creative activity tied to employment support. Credible providers would need to deliver an adult art club suitable for Pathways to Work participants and operate locally in Barnsley. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, suggesting that smaller community-based providers can meet this type of need; the data does not state that these characteristics were formal selection requirements. The direct award was made without competition, so it does not establish a competitive scoring model or specific technical credentials. Relevant experience would centre on running accessible adult art activities for people engaged in a work-focused programme.
