Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council is seeking to procure a framework for providers of care services within supported living, operating under the Supported Living Framework 2020. The contract, valued at £345 million, falls under the social work and related services category and is based in the East of England. The tender process, which concluded with contract awards on March 1, 2021, has an active duration from March 1, 2021, to February 28, 2025. Interested suppliers were required to submit their bids electronically by 12pm on September 25, 2020, with no limit on the number of providers that could be accepted onto the framework.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in care services. Providers that can demonstrate high-quality service delivery in supported living settings, particularly those capable of addressing enhanced complex needs, would be well suited to compete. Successful suppliers will play a crucial role in the delivery of care services to new placements across Essex, thus establishing valuable long-term partnerships with a key local authority.
