Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council is planning a procurement process titled "Adults Residential and Respite Framework", aimed at establishing a multi-use, multi-supplier framework to provide adult residential and respite services. This framework will be accessible to both Adult Social Care and Health partners and will cater to various adult client groups such as older people, individuals with learning disabilities, mental health issues, and complex needs. The initiative is currently in the planning stage, with publication details released on 5th May 2026. The framework is scheduled to commence on 1st January 2027 and conclude on 31st December 2034. This open procedure, conducted under the light-touch regime, will support the distribution of services primarily in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and the surrounding UKH31 region, with an estimated annual value of £37,000,000 and a total projected value of £296,000,000 over the duration of the contract. Timelines for engagement and market notification are to be confirmed by 1st September 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the health and social work services sector, particularly those specialising in adult care and support. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to participate given the framework’s potential division into lots, encouraging diverse participation. By engaging in this framework, businesses can enhance their exposure and experience in public service contracts while contributing to an essential community service. The open procedure ensures a competitive bidding process, providing numerous opportunities for businesses to secure contracts and grow within this framework's extensive eight-year duration.
