Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned training to help adults with learning disabilities develop independent-living skills, with support relevant to their families. The requirement is described as covering Hawthorns and Redfield Road. This is a health and social care service, rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The recorded delivery area is Bath and North East Somerset, in England. The work is intended for adults with learning disabilities and their families, and focuses on training for independent living. The council is the buyer and the service is being delivered by a specialist organisation supporting learning and living for people with disabilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to South West Action for Learning and Living Our Way Limited. The council used a direct award below the competitive threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime for services. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 June 2028. Its value is £155,839.47. The procurement is recorded as a single lot, which is complete. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated evaluation basis is not recorded in the published procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Bath & North East Somerset Council for specialist training that helps adults with learning disabilities live more independently, with families included in the requirement. Suppliers best placed to meet a future requirement would be able to design and deliver practical independent-living training for this group, understand the support needs of adults with learning disabilities, and work appropriately with their families. Credibility would depend on relevant delivery experience and the capacity to provide a sustained service across the named Hawthorns and Redfield Road settings. The selected provider is a specialist organisation focused on learning and living for people with disabilities, indicating that a focused service capability is relevant. The council used a direct, non-competitive route for this award, so this outcome does not establish a competitive evaluation model.
