## Summary

Gloucestershire County Council has concluded the procurement for the 2026/27 HAF Community Connectors, focusing on health and social work services, as well as other community, social and personal services. The contracting process is categorised under 'Public authority - sub-central government', with contracts awarded to multiple suppliers. The procurement stage is identified as the Award stage, with the award notice published on 20th March 2026 and contracts expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027. The procurement method involved limited competition, catering to below threshold acquisitions.

This procurement represents substantial opportunities for organisations operating within health and social care sectors, especially those with specialised capabilities in supporting families with children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The initiative could significantly bolster business growth for large-scale organisations and SMEs alike. Notably, some awarded suppliers include Parent Carer Alliance C.I.C and BLOODHOUND EDUCATION LTD., indicating that ventures with expertise in community and social services stand poised to benefit from such collaborations. In regions within Gloucestershire such as Cotswold, Cheltenham, and Tewkesbury, companies can leverage the service contracts to expand their reach and enhance their service delivery frameworks.
