Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council has completed a direct award under the procurement process titled "Placement of a young person in Foster Care". This contract is categorised within the health and social work services industry and is located in Oldham, United Kingdom, specifically in the region of UKD37. The procurement method was below threshold without competition, highlighting its special light-touch regime. The contract was granted on 8th August 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026, with a possibility of renewal for ongoing support. The awarding of this contract is at the finalisation and signing stage, with the contract award value being £40,000 GBP.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in fostering services, to engage with local government contracts. FLOURISH FOSTERING LIMITED, based in Stockport, was awarded the contract, which underscores the favourability of SMEs in successfully achieving contracts of this nature. Enterprises in the health and social care sectors, especially those capable of delivering specialised and sensitive services such as foster care placements, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities that may arise in the future within sub-central government purchasing bodies. The direct award process is an efficient way for businesses to partake in procuring services as it often involves less competitive pressure and administrative requirements.
