Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council procured a residential or solo supported-living care placement. This is health and social care provision, intended to meet an individual’s care needs through a residential placement or support arranged for one person. The service is for delivery in Cheshire West and Chester, within Cheshire in North West England. The requirement was treated as a single service lot, rather than divided into multiple lots. The contract sits within the light-touch regime for social services. Its scale and tailored nature are reflected in the individual care package: the provision may involve residential care or a solo supported-living arrangement, depending on the person’s circumstances and support needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Select Support Partnerships Ltd. Cheshire West and Chester Council used an open competition below the public procurement threshold. The single lot was evaluated on compliant price, scored quality questions and a due diligence form. The original tender estimate was £650,000 gross; the contract value is £250,000 gross. The contract was signed on 27 January 2026 and runs from 27 February 2026 to 28 February 2031, with a maximum extent to 31 October 2033. Renewal is allowed, depending on the individual’s care needs. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2025. The recorded contract period differs from the lot’s stated period, which ran from 27 October 2025 to 27 October 2027.

For providers competing for a similar Cheshire West and Chester Council requirement, credibility rests on delivering residential care or a genuinely individual, solo supported-living placement in response to a person’s needs. The selected provider’s award shows that the council has bought this service through an open, below-threshold competition and assessed bids on compliant pricing, quality responses and due diligence. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate safe, dependable care delivery, the capacity to tailor provision to an individual, and evidence that their operating arrangements withstand due diligence. The council marked the lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so providers of those kinds were within the intended supplier pool. The work is a specific care package, rather than a broad, multi-lot service contract.
