Multi Agency Risk Assessment Co-ordination

The public procurement process involves North East Lincolnshire Borough Council, acting as the buying organisation, undertaking a project titled "Multi Agency Risk Assessment Co-ordination" in the health and social work services category. Located in Grimsby, United Kingdom, within the UKE13 region, this procurement is now at the award stage, having been completed and awarded on 31st March 2025. The project aims to co-ordinate Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC) to safeguard adult victims of domestic abuse.

The procurement method was direct, involving a direct contract without competition under the threshold, with the contract active from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The award, valued at £51,750 gross, was published on 28th August 2025. This contract represents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care industry, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive risk assessment and co-ordination services.

It is ideally suited for SMEs involved in social work services and those with an interest in public sector collaboration, such as The Blue Door CIC, which successfully secured this contract. Businesses that operate within the framework of safeguarding and community welfare stand to benefit from similar opportunities. The direct award process, under the threshold, suggests that smaller enterprises with specialised services and a focus on social impact might find such contracts accessible and beneficial for growth.
