Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process concerns the extension of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for providing care, support, and accommodation services for adults and young people aged 16 and over with complex needs, including learning and physical disabilities and mental health challenges. The procurement is managed by Cheshire East Council, located in Crewe, United Kingdom. The revised DPS arrangement will now extend up to 31 March 2027. The procurement falls under the industry classification of health and social work services (CPV: 85000000) and is currently in the contract update stage. Cheshire East Council has authorised this extension due to challenges around transformation and restructuring within the council, with the next contract phase beginning on 1 September 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those with expertise in handling complex disabilities and mental health needs. SMEs and larger providers with a robust capacity in providing tailored care and accommodation solutions could find this DPS particularly beneficial. Engaging with this contract can lead to long-term growth and establishment in the Cheshire area, allowing businesses to expand their services and influence within the sector. Potential suppliers who can demonstrate quality service delivery and innovation in care solutions will be well-placed to compete for ongoing opportunities under this extended arrangement.
