## Summary

Salford City Council has completed the procurement process for a "Supported Employment Service" intended to cater to individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and ADHD. The procurement, conducted under a light-touch regime using an open procedure, culminated in awarding the contract to PURE INNOVATIONS LIMITED, an SME based in Stockport. The contract, valued at £680,206.8 gross, is set to run from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2028, with an option for a 12-month extension subject to satisfactory performance and funding. The services cover several regions across the UK, including Manchester and other regions, classified under codes such as higher education services and social work, with plans to start delivering from June 2026.
