The contract, valued at £150,000, was signed on the 18th of June 2025 and is awarded for engaging four Village Agents to assist with low-level social care needs. This tender presents opportunities for businesses operating within the services sector, particularly those specialising in social health and community service provisions.

The contract was awarded to the Community Council of Lancashire, indicating that organisations similar in scale, such as SMEs with experience in delivering community-focused health services, would be well-suited to compete. Engaging in such tenders could provide businesses with a platform to expand their reach and demonstrate their capabilities in delivering essential services in collaboration with public authorities.
