UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is entering the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Domiciliary Care Tender." This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category, specifically targeting home-help services. The process is currently in the planning phase, with a market engagement event scheduled for 19th August 2025 at the Neath Civic Centre, SA11 3QZ, UK. The Council intends to invite suitably experienced service providers to tender for domiciliary care services by November 2025, with the anticipated contract period starting from 14th August 2026 and ending on 13th August 2034. Businesses need to be aware that TUPE regulations may apply, and initial engagement activities will include discussions with Council Officers and feedback sessions.

With a gross value of £11,999,999, the procurement offers a lucrative opportunity to establish long-term service provision within a framework agreement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, would be well-suited to compete, as their capabilities align with the project requirements laid out in the preliminary engagement notice. Participation in the market engagement events and subsequent one-on-one sessions provides a platform for potential bidders to influence tender specifications and adapt their offerings accordingly, setting the foundation for successful involvement in this substantial public service initiative. Interested providers should confirm their attendance with Kate Hearnden via email for further participation details.
