This procurement, valued at approximately £1.89 million, is conducted under the Light Touch Regime in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The awarded contracts are for Lot 1, Quarter 3 of the 2025/2026 fiscal year, covering Health and Social Work Services in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Kirklees Council has utilised a selective procurement method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the procurement stage now complete. Key dates include the contract period starting from 1st October 2025 and ending on 30th September 2029.

This tender offers significant business growth potential, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs. With contracts awarded to a mix of small, medium, and large suppliers, businesses with expertise in health and social care services are well-positioned to leverage this opportunity. Companies such as Amethyst, Compass Care Homes, and Making Space have been successful in securing contracts, indicating a competitive yet accessible market for diverse service providers. Smaller or newer enterprises, particularly those able to offer specialised supported living services, can gain entry into the public procurement domain and expand their regional footprint. Furthermore, the dynamic purchasing system approach allows suppliers to join the tender process, fostering market diversity and inclusivity.
