Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned a new family support service for adults with learning disabilities and their families. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and is delivered in the Bath and North East Somerset area. The service is intended for adults with learning disabilities and their families; the procurement title identifies it as PSI/LD, without further detail on the service model or specific activities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FREEWAYS. The council used a direct award without competition under a below-threshold route. One lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 June 2028. Its value is £361,425. The award is active, and the contract is active. No separate award date is recorded.

This award shows demand from Bath & North East Somerset Council for family support services focused on adults with learning disabilities. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate relevant health and social care delivery capability and the ability to support both adults and their families in the local area. FREEWAYS, a voluntary, community or social enterprise and small or medium-sized supplier, was selected through a direct award without competition; the procurement does not state particular accreditations, staffing levels, service volumes or experience thresholds. Suppliers with a suitable local delivery model and a track record in learning disability support may therefore find this buyer’s requirement relevant when assessing comparable future work.
