UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Borough Council is actively planning a procurement process to invite Registered Social Housing Providers to develop supported housing for adult social care within the borough. This initiative aims to transform services to enhance the lives of residents, specifically focusing on adults with learning disabilities, mental health issues, and autism. Currently at the planning stage, the council is organising an engagement event on 17th September 2025 via Microsoft Teams and is seeking the completion of a post-market engagement questionnaire by 10th October 2025. The project falls under the services category, chiefly revolving around social work and related services, with the planned contract period set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2030.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for Registered Social Housing Providers aiming to expand their portfolio in social housing development. Ideal candidates are those who specialise in health and social work services, particularly those adept in providing tailored solutions for individuals with varying social care needs. The procurement process aligns with the 'light touch' regime, setting an accessible entry point for both SMEs and VCSEs looking to grow their business within the Cheshire East region. By engaging with this opportunity, businesses have the potential to contribute to a transformative project within a supportive community infrastructure.
