UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is planning a public procurement process for the renewal and re-procurement of residential contracts for adults with disabilities aged 18-65. This pipeline notice has been published to inform potential suppliers about the upcoming opportunity, which falls under the health and social work services category. The process is currently in the planning stage and is classified as a UK1 Pipeline Notice, indicating that a tender has not yet been formally declared. The procurement method identified is an open procedure, indicating a competitive and transparent process once it reaches the tender stage. The contract is expected to cater to the region of UKG37, with a potential contract period scheduled from October 2026 to September 2036. Businesses are advised not to contact the contracting authority until formal notices are made available, with potential communication expected around January 2026.

This upcoming opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses in the healthcare and social services industry, especially those specialising in services for adults with disabilities. The procurement process is designed to be inclusive, accommodating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. The long-term contract period offers stability and the potential for sustainable growth for service providers who are successful in winning the tender. Companies with experience in delivering high-quality, client-centred residential care services will be well-suited to participate in the competition when the tender process is officially announced. This preparation phase allows prospective bidders to align their strategies and resources in anticipation of the forthcoming procurement opportunity.
