## Summary

Flintshire County Council has awarded a contract for the "Gwasanaeth Therapiwtig Teuluoedd yn Gyntaf / Families First Therapeutic Service" as of 21 May 2026, following an open procurement method targeted below threshold - open competition. This tendered service focuses on providing therapeutic support to children aged 7-18 (or up to 25 with diagnosed disabilities) and their families in the region of Flintshire, United Kingdom. The procurement process was initiated as a tender on 8 April 2026, and the contract is set to commence on 1 July 2026, ending on 31 March 2027, with options for a three-year extension subject to grant funding and performance. Both the tender and subsequent award stages highlighted essential aspects such as evidence-based therapeutic support, indicating a strategic approach by the Flintshire County Council to enhance family support services.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those that can deliver one-to-one therapeutic interventions and have experience dealing with behavioural issues within early intervention thresholds. The programme's reliance on evidence-based practices and its potential renewal until March 2030 make it a lucrative opportunity for organisations that provide value-driven therapeutic programmes. The competition saw two bids at the final stage, including strong representation from voluntary and community sector enterprises, suggesting that both established and large scale organisations, as well as smaller enterprises showing high quality and social value, are well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
