Summary, notice description and lot information
Leicester City Council is in the planning stage for a service procurement titled "Foodbank Plus 2025", with a focus on health and social work services in Leicester, UK. This initiative involves a Soft Market Test to assess market interest in a model combining welfare advice with mental wellbeing support in community settings. The engagement process aims to gather feedback to shape the final service specification, aligning with Leicester's public health and poverty objectives.
The deadline for this market engagement feedback is set for 2nd December 2025. Following this, a formal notice is anticipated by 9th December 2025. The procurement is expected to commence on 1st January 2026, ending on 31st December 2028, with an estimated contract value of £315,000.
This procurement offers growth opportunities for businesses engaged in health and social services, particularly those with expertise in community welfare and mental health support. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) are especially suitable, as the procurement process is designed with their participation in mind. Firms with innovative delivery approaches that align with the council’s objectives on public health and poverty reduction will have a competitive edge.
This invitation to engage with the planning process represents a unique opportunity for businesses to potentially influence the service specification and demonstrate their capabilities in providing integrated health and social services.
