## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned community outreach services for unpaid parent carers of disabled children. The work is a local support and guidance service, classified as guidance services, delivered in Sandwell, with joint funding from Sandwell Children’s Trust. The requirement is aimed at helping parent carers access appropriate community outreach and support. The council is the buyer and Sandwell Children’s Trust is the procuring entity. The service sits within the light-touch regime and is relevant to organisations experienced in supporting families, unpaid carers, disabled children or children’s social care. It may suit charities, community organisations, voluntary-sector providers and specialist support agencies with established local relationships and the ability to provide advice and outreach directly to parent carers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was awarded to Sandwell Parents for Disabled Children, a small and medium-sized voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation. The award is active and the contract was signed on 1 July 2026, with delivery from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The contract value is £44,000 excluding VAT and £52,800 including VAT. Evaluation and selection were conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract covers the community outreach and guidance service for unpaid parent carers of disabled children in Sandwell. The award relates to the single completed lot and there is no separate award value to combine with it.

This award shows that Sandwell buys focused, locally delivered support for unpaid parent carers of disabled children through a direct below-threshold route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience of community outreach, guidance and family support, with a clear understanding of the pressures faced by parent carers and the needs of disabled children. Strong local connections, trusted relationships with families and referral partners, and the ability to provide accessible, responsive support would be relevant. The incumbent’s small voluntary, community or social enterprise profile also indicates that specialist community organisations can meet this type of requirement. Providers should be able to demonstrate reliable service delivery, suitable staff and a clear focus on outcomes for parent carers.
