## Summary

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned community outreach services to prevent problems and support Deaf people living within Sandwell. The requirement covers guidance and outreach rather than goods, construction or general administrative support. Delivery is in Sandwell, with the awarded service associated with the local Deaf community. The council is the public body buying the service, and Sandwell Deaf Community Association is the selected community-based provider. This is a specialist social-care and community-support requirement, centred on engaging Deaf residents, understanding their circumstances and connecting them with appropriate guidance. Organisations working in Deaf-led services, community outreach, prevention, accessible communication or related support would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Sandwell Deaf Community Association, a small and medium-sized voluntary, community and social enterprise. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its value is £42,000 excluding VAT, or £50,400 including VAT. The contract is active. The service was treated as a guidance service, and the award relates to community outreach and prevention for Sandwell’s Deaf community. The recorded award route means the requirement was not evaluated through a competitive tender for this contract.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for Deaf-community prevention and outreach delivered through a specialist voluntary-sector organisation. A credible future competitor would need to show practical capability in engaging Deaf residents, providing accessible guidance and delivering community-based support in Sandwell. Deaf-led knowledge, trusted relationships with local Deaf people and the ability to provide consistent outreach would be commercially relevant. The selected provider’s status as both an SME and a VCSE indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused community organisation rather than only by a large national contractor. Suppliers with comparable specialist reach, safeguarding and service-delivery capacity should use this requirement to assess whether they can match that trusted local model when the council next needs similar support.
