Summary of the contracting process

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council (MBC) is reopening the Supported Living Services Flexible Contracting Arrangement (FCA) for 2024. This open procurement process is aimed at providers of supported living services to adults within or close to Solihull. The registration period for this tender ends on 4 October 2024, and the services are set to commence on 1 April 2025. The FCA, which falls under the Health and Social Work Services category (CPV: 85000000), features a variety of social work services, including those without and with accommodation. This open procedure invites both new and previously unsuccessful bidders to apply, with the Council potentially reopening the FCA annually to allow additional opportunities.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). By securing a place on this FCA, service providers can establish a long-term relationship with Solihull MBC, opening avenues for recurrent service delivery whenever the Council requires supported living services. Given the flexibility and periodic reopening of the FCA, companies that demonstrate consistent quality and adherence to eligibility criteria will find this an advantageous prospect for consistent growth and sustained business opportunities within the West Midlands region.
