Parent Carer Needs Assessment

North Tyneside Borough Council has undertaken a procurement process for a Parent Carer Needs Assessment service, with the award being finalised on 1st September 2025 and the contract starting on 30th September 2025. This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category, with a contract value of £40,000 per annum, extendable based on funding availability. The location for this service is specified as the UKC22 region, United Kingdom.

The process followed a direct procurement method categorised as light touch and was below the competition threshold, indicating the absence of a competitive tendering phase. The current stage of the procurement was completed, resulting in the award of the contract to North Tyneside Parent Carer Forum CIC. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, potentially benefitting those with experience in supporting carers.

It is well-suited for organisations like community interest companies (CICs) or small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are familiar with delivering similar services. By engaging in this contract, businesses can enhance their portfolio and gain a foothold within the public sector, particularly in working with sub-central government entities. Additionally, organisations looking to solidify partnerships with local councils or expand their operations in the North Tyneside area would find this contract advantageous.
