## Summary

Middlesbrough Council, acting as the buying organisation, has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of Payroll, Managed Accounts, and Employment Support Services through Direct Payments and Personal Budgets. This service falls within the health and social work services industry category and was procured through a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. Although the process has concluded, it centred on the delivery within the region of UKC12. Originally initiated in 2025, the contract was awarded to Penderels Trust Limited, with a contract value of £843,796 signed on 25 March 2025. The procurement stage has now moved past the award phase and is considered complete.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in managing payroll, accounts, and employment support services. The decision to award without prior publication points towards strategic partnerships and engagement of suppliers with proven capabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as Penderels Trust Limited, which successfully achieved the contract, demonstrate viable pathways for similar businesses to secure future contracts with local authorities like Middlesbrough Council. Companies with expertise in service delivery, particularly those capable of adapting to the legislatively driven requirements of Direct Payments, are well-suited for such opportunities, facilitating business growth through public sector partnerships.
