Summary of the contracting process

The Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking tenders for the position of Home Support Assistants, aiming to provide essential care services across the borough of Sandwell. This tender is at the planning stage, with applications closing on Tuesday, 12th January 2021, at 3:00 PM. The contract is set to commence on 18th January 2021 and will run until 31st March 2021, with a total budget of £10,000 for this temporary service. The role requires workers to provide personal care and support to vulnerable adults, involving various hours, including evenings and weekends, and necessitates a valid driving licence due to the nature of the work locations.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in staffing services, particularly those experienced in providing healthcare personnel. Firms that have a background in temporary staffing for health and social care sectors would be well-positioned to compete effectively. Additionally, businesses that can demonstrate experience with vulnerable populations and are equipped to meet the specific requirements, such as driving licence checks and enhanced DBS verification, will enhance their chances of being shortlisted. Participating in this contract can help providers expand their portfolio and establish long-term relationships with local authorities in the West Midlands.
