Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council has announced a forthcoming public procurement opportunity for Community Enablement Services under the "Bath and North East Somerset Adult Social Care Community Enablement Services" initiative. This procurement falls within the social work services industry and is intended to improve outcomes for adults and carers, and prevent health inequalities. The Council plans to award contracts via an open tender process, divided into two lots, each targeting specific services: Lot 1, Support at Home Service (post-discharge and admission prevention), with an estimated value of £1.1 million, and Lot 2, Step-Up and Step-Down Accommodation Service, valued at £1.2 million. The total estimated contract value is £2.3 million over 7 years, with services anticipated to commence on 1 January 2026. Key procurement dates include the end of the tender period on 25 June 2025 and the award period concluding on 15 October 2025.
