Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is planning a procurement process titled "Day Opportunities & Meaningful Occupations Framework," as part of modernising its approach to day services in Kingston. This initiative, currently in the planning stage, addresses public authority central government requirements and seeks to enhance health and social work services. The procurement involves a framework agreement, particularly under the light-touch regime, focusing on services above the procurement threshold with a value of £10,428,835 GBP. This framework is divided into three lots: building-based, community-based, and preventative day opportunities, offering a choice for service users. The contract period is scheduled from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2033, with a potential extension until 31 March 2035. Organisations can expect communication updates, with a future notice date set for 1 June 2027.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care services, especially those that can deliver outcome-focused solutions and promote accessibility to universal services and engagement in volunteering, work, and education. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly well-suited to bid for this framework due to the suitability criteria outlined for these contracts. Engaging in this tender could support businesses in expanding their footprint within the public sector by developing innovative care models that align with the council's vision for community-focused services.
