## Summary

Bedford Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Children's Home (Spot Non Framework)" under the direct procurement method due to urgency reasons. Classified under the health and social work services category, this project primarily serves the UKH24 region in the United Kingdom. The contract process commenced with the award on 9th January 2026 and is scheduled to end on 29th December 2026. This tender follows a below-threshold and non-competitive procurement process, reflecting the immediate needs for the service provision, with OUTBOUND CARE LTD being awarded the contract. Bedford Borough Council, operating under the sub-central government classification, facilitated this tender from Borough Hall, Bedford.

This contract offers significant opportunities for growth particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) working within health and social care services. OUTBOUND CARE LTD, a SME based in Blackpool, successfully secured this contract, winning a gross contract value of £561,600. Businesses specialising in providing bespoke care solutions, especially those capable of responding effectively to urgent requirements, are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. The successful partnership with public authorities like Bedford Borough Council could pave the way for further collaborations and contracts in the public sector, promising steady service demand and business expansion possibilities.
