## Summary

The procurement process for the "Generalist Advice Services for Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council" contract was initiated by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, located at Lagan Valley Island, Lisburn, United Kingdom, under the public authority classification of sub-central government. This procedure is governed by the Northern Irish devolved regulations, and it commenced with preliminary market engagement, leading towards an open tender stage. The process culminated in a contract awarded on 22 April 2026, with an initial contract period from 15 May 2026 to 15 May 2027. The tender falls under the services category, specifically aimed at provision of services to the community, and has a renewal possibility of extension for up to two additional 12-month periods, contingent on the Council's discretion. The total contract value is £198,666 GBP, provided through an open procedure.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in community-focused services, especially those capable of delivering high-quality generalist advice to a large demographic within Lisburn and Castlereagh. Competent and experienced organisations or consortia, particularly large-scale ones that adhere to social value criteria, would find this contract particularly promising. Although only one bid was ultimately received from COMMUNITY ADVICE LISBURN & CASTLEREAGH, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider similar future opportunities, as well as partnerships or consortia arrangements that align with the Council's emphasis on accessibility and quality service. The involvement of VCSE (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise) organisations in the bidding process indicates the Council's leaning towards socially motivated suppliers.
