Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is in the planning phase for a procurement process titled "Replacement care (respite, sitting services, outreach) for Older Adults and Adults with disabilities." This project falls under the health and social work services industry category, with a focus on both residential and non-residential care. Located in Oldbury, United Kingdom (region UKG37), this procurement involves an open procedure method under the main category of services, and it will adhere to the light touch regime for contracts above threshold. The Council has planned a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, with a future notice date set for 1 January 2026.

This tender offers a variety of opportunities for growth within the health and social care sector. It is particularly well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its suitability criteria. With the focus on replacement care services, businesses with expertise in providing respite, sitting services, and outreach to older adults and adults with disabilities stand to gain considerable business prospects. As the specific procurement process is yet to be determined, businesses should monitor for future notices to prepare competitive tenders when more details emerge.
