Learning Disability Residential Placement for an Individual

Durham County Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for a "Learning Disability Residential Placement for an Individual". The procurement was categorised under health and social work services, identified as a light-touch regime, specifically designed to cater for an individual service user in the UKC14 region, which covers parts of Durham. The procurement was executed through a direct method, labelled as 'below threshold - without competition', with the contract awarded on 13th November 2025.

The contract, valued at £51,622, is set to commence on 20th December 2025, concluding on 31st March 2026. This opportunity was designed for providers specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in offering residential placements for individuals with learning disabilities. Although the opportunity was sourced through direct procurement with Young Foundations Limited, businesses with expertise in similar services may find future opportunities within this industry advantageous for growth.

Service providers with capabilities to respond to light-touch procurement regimes and those specialising in sub-central government contracts may benefit from aligning with the procurement priorities of organisations like Durham County Council.
