## Summary

This public procurement process concerns the Parent and Carer Advocate Service initiated by Wirral Council to provide support to families with children on child protection or need plans. The procurement falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and is set to take place in the Wallasey, UKD74 region in the United Kingdom. The process was conducted through an open competition method under the light-touch regime, with initial tendering closing on 4th December 2025 at noon, and the contract awarded on 13th January 2026. The contract began on 17th February 2026 and will run until 31st March 2027, with a total value of £240,000. The procurement has successfully advanced from the tender stage to contract awarding, demonstrating completion of all necessary stages of the procurement process.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services to engage in providing vital community support, aligning with public sector values. Wirral Council’s emphasis on social value alongside technical assessment and pricing provides a comprehensive platform for businesses that can offer high-standard service delivery while contributing to community development. Companies like KOALA NORTH WEST LTD that are large in scale and recognised as VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) organisations have successfully competed, indicating that similar enterprises, especially those vested in health and social sectors, are well-suited to leverage such opportunities for growth and establishing partnerships within the public sector.
