Family Support Services

The contracting process for Family Support Services, initiated by the London Borough of Bexley, is now complete. The project falls within the services industry category, specifically targeting social work and related services. Located in Bexleyheath, UK, the procurement followed a direct procurement method—specifically a below-threshold, non-competitive process under the Public Contracts Regulations 2023/54 light touch regime.

The contract period extends from 7th April 2025 to 6th April 2026 and has a total gross value of £41,630. This direct award was not open for competition, reflecting its specialised nature. The contract was signed with Blue Ocean Services Ltd on 7th April 2025.

This tender provides significant business opportunities for SMEs, particularly those with expertise in delivering personalised family support services. As the award illustrates the potential for businesses specialised in social work to secure governmental contracts through direct procurement methods, firms that can offer bespoke, high-quality care solutions within the London area stand to benefit. Enterprises in the sector should view such opportunities as a pathway to building credibility and establishing long-term relations with public authorities like the London Borough of Bexley.
