Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council is seeking to re-commission a supported living framework for adult services under the procurement ID WP4056, in the health and social work services category. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the most recent update recorded on 2nd July 2026. This planned procurement has a significant total estimated value of £310 million, with the contract set to commence on 1st October 2028 and conclude on 30th September 2038. The services will be delivered in the Walsall area, identified as region UKG38. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, adhering to a 'light touch' regime due to its nature, indicating that it may be subject to less stringent regulatory requirements.

Companies with the capacity to engage in long-term contracts, extending up to a decade, stand to benefit notably. Additionally, businesses adept at participating in open procurement processes will find this contract favourable. The presence of a framework agreement indicates opportunities for continuous collaboration with the council, making this a strategic endeavour for service providers aiming to expand their portfolios and establish sustained partnerships within the public sector.
