UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a "Reablement Service in Sandwell." This service aims to support individuals with reablement needs to regain their independence after a period of illness or reduced mobility. Although it is currently in the planning stage, the tender falls under the health and social work services category. It is classified as a light-touch regime and is expected to operate within the UKG37 region of the United Kingdom, if it proceeds. The planned contract period spans from 3rd June 2026 to 2nd June 2028, with an expected future notice to be released by 1st September 2025.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialised in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in reablement programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly well-suited to compete, given the procurement method is an open procedure. This open procedure encourages broad participation, potentially allowing newcomers with innovative approaches to enter the market and contribute to community health outcomes in Sandwell. Participants should remain attentive to further notices as the opportunity advances from planning to formal tender stages.
