Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Council is currently in the planning stage for the Bedford Borough Council Supported Living Framework Agreement, which falls under the Health and Social Work Services industry category (CPV: 85000000). An important Pre-Procurement Market Engagement Event (PPME) will be held to address the council's aims and requirements for this framework. The event will take place online via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM GMT, and those interested must sign up through Eventbrite. The framework aspires to provide services for individuals requiring support related to Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities, Mental Health needs, autism, and challenging behaviours, covering the East of England region.

Companies specializing in supported living and health and social care services are well positioned to benefit from this initiative. Bedford Council's engagement event will provide valuable insights into the tendering process and offer advice on best practices for tender submissions, further enabling businesses to align their proposals with the council's objectives and increase their competitiveness in securing a place on the future framework agreement.
