Provision of a Wellbeing Support Worker for Families - Children with Additional Support Needs (ASN)

Inverclyde Council has concluded the procurement process for the provision of a Wellbeing Support Worker for Families with Children who have Additional Support Needs (ASN), under the restricted procedure method. The council, located at Municipal Buildings, Clyde Square, Greenock, is part of the Regional or Local Authority sector with a focus on general public services. The contract, classified under the CPV code 85000000, was awarded on 27 May 2025, and the contract is valued at £200,000 GBP.

The procurement took place in the UKM83 region, with the initial documentation indicating the process was governed by Section 12 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. This opportunity aims to enhance community benefits, delivering 10 Social Value Points during the contract period. While the contract was ultimately awarded to Barnardo's, a large-scale organisation, the procurement method—as a selective, restricted procedure—suggests that businesses with expertise in providing wellbeing and support services for children with ASN, particularly those prioritising community impact, could find similar future contracts advantageous for business growth.

This procurement reinforces the strategic focus on offering tailored support to families, opening doors for organisations specialising in social services and community engagement to further explore procurement opportunities with similar requirements.
