## Summary

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has completed the procurement process titled "Play Activity for Children," a service aimed at providing engaging and inclusive play activities for children. This initiative is informed by the Kirklees Short Breaks Needs Assessment and aims to remove barriers to participation for disabled children, enabling them to engage in positive activities within their communities. The contract was awarded under a limited competition procurement method, which is below the procurement threshold, with a focus on light-touch regulations. The procurement process reached the award stage on 23rd June 2026, and the contract is set to commence on 18th July 2026. The activities are divided into two lots based in North and South Kirklees, ensuring a regional focus within the UKE44 region. The awarded contract is valued at £66,000 annually with a possibility of a 12-month extension.

The completion of this tender offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on health and social work services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality, inclusive play activities for children. Companies with experience in providing similar services and a commitment to supporting children with disabilities could benefit from this contract. The supplier, Carers Trust Mid Yorkshire, which matches the procurement needs through its focus on health and social care services, successfully won this tender, highlighting the opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) with relevant expertise to compete in this market. This contract represents a stable and structured opportunity for suitable businesses aiming for regional growth and community impact within Huddersfield and the broader Kirklees area.
