Sense supplies health and social care services, and education and training provision, to UK councils and health bodies, mainly in the East Midlands, East of England and London, across 16 public contract awards. Its work spans residential care, supported living, short breaks for disabled children and day care for adults with learning disabilities. Across 2021 to 2026 its awards total approximately £1,065,639,247, with 2021 the busiest year at five awards. The largest buyers are Leicestershire County Council with four contracts, and Lincolnshire County Council with two, alongside single awards from Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, Hertfordshire and Kent county councils. The biggest award is £750,000,000 for learning disability services in Norfolk, a framework agreement from Norfolk County Council (May 2023), where that figure is the ceiling for all suppliers rather than the sum paid to Sense. Its £187,000,000 supported living contract for Hertfordshire County Council (February 2025) and its £78,000,000 residential care award for Kent County Council (December 2021) show the scale of its adult social care work. The most recent award is £3,554,500 for short break services from the London Borough of Redbridge (October 2026).
