Summary of the contracting process

West Sussex County Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "LLS and MH Residential Framework 2027." This falls under the services category, specifically focusing on social work services with accommodation. The procurement process follows a framework agreement and is categorised under the light-touch regime, indicating that it is above the procurement threshold. Scheduled to commence on 1st October 2027, this contract will run until 30th September 2033, with the possibility of extension until 2035. The tender process will formally begin with the publication of a future notice on 1st September 2026. The procurement is intended for services within the United Kingdom, particularly in the region of Chichester, and is directed by West Sussex County Council, a sub-central government authority.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services with accommodation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete due to the contract's focus on fostering partnerships within these sectors. Businesses with expertise in delivering high-quality residential and mental health accommodation services can leverage this framework to enter or expand their presence in the public sector market. Engaging with this opportunity could provide a stable long-term income stream, given the framework's potential duration of up to eight years.
