## Summary

Durham County Council has recently completed a procurement process for the contract titled "Care Voids 2025 - 2026", within the health and social work services industry category, specifically focused on managing care voids to maintain staffing levels when vacancies occur. The buying organisation, located in Durham, conducted this procurement through a direct method without competition, classified under a light-touch regime. Starting from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, the contract was awarded to Positive Individual Proactive Support, a large-scale supplier based in Middlesbrough. The total contract value is £62,000, with a gross amount of £74,400. The award was made active on 24th September 2025, emphasising support within the UKC14 region.
