Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for "Care and Support Services within Extra Care Settings". This venture, listed under the health and social work services category, aims to commission high-quality care services for their two Extra Care settings located in the east of Middlesbrough. Businesses interested in participating must complete a questionnaire by 13th February 2026, providing insights and opinions to inform future service arrangements. The planned contract period is from 14th January 2027 to 13th January 2031, with potential renewal options extending until 2032. The total estimated value of the contract is £17,800,000, with the possibility of going above the threshold.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in delivering care within Extra Care environments. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector would benefit significantly from engaging in this process. Additionally, local businesses from the UKC12 region might find logistical advantages owing to proximity. This market engagement phase allows potential providers to influence and tailor services to the council's needs, enabling collaborative service development and strengthening business relationships with sub-central government authorities like Middlesbrough Council.
