Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Supported Living for Adults with Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs," with an expected total value of £108 million. The initiative is focused on delivering care and support services within designated supported living services across Oldham. Classified under the 'Social work and related services' industry category, this notice is currently earmarked as a Pipeline Notice, indicating potential future tender opportunities without requiring immediate response. The procurement process is planned to be selective, utilising pre-Procurement Act commercial tools, and may change as internal governance and approvals advance. The procurement may eventually fall under various regulations such as the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or might be withdrawn. While the contract period is anticipated to start on 1 April 2026 and extend to 31 March 2031, there's potential for renewal up to 2035.

This upcoming tender presents several opportunities for business growth, especially for CQC-regulated, registered, and inspected as 'Good', supported living care providers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete, given the focus on localised social care services. The nature of the contract suggests collaboration within the Greater Manchester framework, further fostering regional development and business expansion. Providers specialising in social work and care services can leverage this opportunity to strengthen their market presence and contribute to community welfare in Oldham, potentially securing substantial contracts during the anticipated call-off period.
