## Summary

Lancashire County Council is initiating a procurement process for a "Community Support Service for Neurodivergence" set to commence in 2027. This project aims to deliver essential health and social work services that support neurodivergent individuals, encouraging inclusion, independence, and wellbeing. The procurement is overseen by the sub-central government authority based in Preston, United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, the procurement method is an open procedure. The official planning update was published on 26th May 2026, with a future notice date anticipated on 1st September 2026, as the council prepares for finalising offers and services.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, specifically those who can offer practical, emotional, and social support structures. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited due to the procurement's focus on innovative and community-centric solutions. Entrants can leverage this opportunity to expand their operations, influence positive community change, and establish themselves in this pivotal service sector over the projected contract span from 2027 to 2032.
