Summary of the contracting process

Reading Borough Council is conducting a public procurement process for the project titled "Supported Living - Accommodation and Support Required." This initiative falls within the social work services category, aiming to secure accommodation and support for at least four males aged between 52 and 71 years old with mental health diagnoses. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with an engagement end date set for 29 March 2019. The council is particularly interested in properties located in Cholsey, South Oxfordshire, or similar quiet villages or small towns with good public transport links, with the service expected to be operational before January 2020.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in supported living services, property management, or social care provisions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete, particularly those that can deliver accommodation and support services tailored towards fostering independence for individuals transitioning from institutional settings. Interested providers should communicate their intent to engage by 5pm on 29 March 2019, as this will allow for market testing and collaboration before the tender progresses further.
