Summary of the contracting process

The Milton Keynes City Council has successfully established a Supported Living Services Framework for the period 2025-2029, aimed at admitting suppliers proficient in delivering diverse supported living services. This procurement process has been administered under the Open FTS using the Light Touch Regime, and it is segmented into four distinct lots focusing on services for individuals with learning disabilities, mental health challenges, autism, and other support needs. While this tendering process was marked by a change of deadlines, ultimately concluding on 8th April 2025, the framework commences on 9th March 2026 and extends until 8th March 2030. The primary procurement category was services, specifically health and social work services, within the region UKJ12, with an anticipated valuation of £99,900,000 using an open procedure.

This framework creates significant opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social work services to expand their activities within the Milton Keynes region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in supported living services have a chance to secure their position within this framework by bidding on up to three lots, enhancing their visibility and business growth potential. However, suppliers were mandated to focus on quality over price during the competitive bidding process, ensuring high service delivery standards. Given the framework agreement covering a variety of supported living needs, businesses involved in care for the disabled, mental health, autism, and physical impairment are highly encouraged to engage in this procurement process to foster growth and strengthen community support services.
