18-64 years

Milton Keynes Council recently completed a procurement process for social work and related services tagged under the industry category 85300000. The procurement, titled "18-64 years," took place in the UKG13 region. The procurement stage reached the award phase, with the contract being awarded on 24th February 2025.

The procurement method used was an open procedure under legal basis 32014L0024, and the single lot available was ultimately cancelled. The awarded contract, however, was valued at £322.32 and was signed off on the same day with Chiltern Healthcare being the successful supplier. This tender offers an opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and related services to grow their presence in the public sector.

It particularly suits organisations like small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have the attributes, client review capabilities, and qualifications needed to provide these services. With a significant focus on the quality of features and competitive pricing, companies that can offer high-quality service at a competitive cost stand to benefit. The procurement also underscores the importance of regional and local suppliers like Chiltern Healthcare, who are well-positioned to handle the needs specified by local authorities such as Milton Keynes Council.
