Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council is in the planning stage for a public procurement process titled "Community Support and Opportunities," focusing on the health and social work services sector. As a sub-central government public authority, the council aims to replace its Light Touch Regime Dynamic Purchasing System for community-based day opportunities. The services are to be delivered within the UKG2 region of the United Kingdom, with a projected contract value of £64,000,000. This procurement falls under the services category and operates under a light-touch regime, with a framework agreement in place. The planned timeline for the contract is from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2034, with a future notice date set for 6th January 2026.
