## Summary

This procurement process, managed by Bedford Borough Council, involves a completed contract for "Residential Spot Placement (Off Framework)" emergency services. The tender, marked by urgency, was issued for a residential spot placement due to Ofsted's advisement regarding a young person's relocation. The procurement falls under the welfare services industry category, specifically targeting services for children and young people, with activity taking place in the East of England (region UKH24). Initiated as a direct procurement method without competition, it was subsequently awarded to RESICARE ALLIANCE LIMITED. The contract period started on 11th December 2025 and will end on 3rd October 2027, with the contract being officially signed on 10th December 2025. The contract has a gross value of £455,520.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs involved in providing specialised welfare services, particularly those catering to children's and young people's needs. While RESICARE ALLIANCE LIMITED has secured this contract due to its urgency, similar opportunities may arise for businesses that demonstrate flexibility and the capability to meet rapid and specific public service needs. Companies focusing on care services, emergency response planning, and capacity to engage with local authorities are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. These businesses stand to gain not only financially but also in building partnerships with public bodies, enhancing their market credibility and future business prospects.
