This project falls under the health and social work services category and was procured through a direct method without competition, below the threshold requirements. With a status of completion in the award stage, the contract, valued at £160,000 excluding VAT, runs from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2027.

The services are provided in the UK, specifically within the region covered by Sefton. This procurement process was carried out in accordance with the legal framework established in the UKPGA 2023/54. This contract presents an opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those capable of providing tailored support to individuals at home.

Organisations with experience in sectors such as social prescribing and community connector services stand to benefit, especially if they focus on enhancing social care support systems. The "Waiting Well" initiative could particularly attract voluntary and large-scale service providers who are well-positioned to address complex care needs collaboratively within the local community. As the awarded supplier, the SEFTON COUNCIL FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE exemplifies the type of organisation that aligns well with these objectives, showcasing capabilities beneficial for others seeking similar tenders.
