## Summary

The procurement process managed by North Tyneside Borough Council focuses on the provision of a "Parent Carer Needs Assessment" service, an initiative designed to assess and support the needs of parent carers in the region of North Tyneside, UK. This procurement process, categorised under health and social work services, has been finalised as of 1st May 2026, entering the Award stage. The contract, valued at £40,000 per annum, with a potential extension of up to two additional years based on funding, was procured under direct method procedures, indicating a below-threshold, non-competitive procurement process. The main contract period commences on 30th September 2026 and runs through 31st August 2027, with possible extensions until 31st July 2028.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in health and social work services, especially those capable of providing specialised support to carers. The successful tenderer, THE NORTH TYNESIDE PARENT CARER FORUM, a large VCSE organisation, underscores a preference for community-oriented and experienced entities in similar service domains. SME and VCSE organisations interested in similar future opportunities might benefit from adopting a community-focused approach, enhancing their capabilities to address specific needs within local government frameworks. The procurement scenario indicates potential for expansion within public service contracts, especially for those with a keen understanding of the sector's unique demands and the ability to navigate light touch and direct procurement regimes.

Contract Value - PS40,000 per annum. Extensions to be taken 1 year plus 1 year depending on funding. Procured under PA23
