## Summary

Middlesbrough Council has awarded a contract through the direct procurement method for the project titled "ECC009 - Community Bridgebuilders and Middlesbrough Voices" in the services industry category. This procurement, located in the region UKC12 in Middlesbrough, United Kingdom, was concluded as an award and contract stage on 4th June 2026 with a start date for the contract set on 1st April 2026, and an end date on 31st March 2027. The procurement was carried out below the threshold without competition due to an underspend in the Recovery fund amounting to £33K.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses within the community and social services sector, specifically those focusing on voluntary and community engagement. Businesses such as SMEs and VCSEs could potentially benefit from future similar procurement opportunities, leveraging existing expertise in community service delivery to provide added value in this well-received programme. Additionally, businesses with capabilities in managing government contracts in the social services domain might find such opportunities highly beneficial to their growth and development strategies.

## Notice

There is an underspend in the Recovery fund of PS33K due to early termination of posts. Rather than return the monies to the funder we propose to extend the Community Bridgebuilders programme which has been well received by the wider voluntary and community sector.
