This procurement, relating to services within the health and social welfare industry, is centred in Wigan, United Kingdom (region UKD36). A market engagement event is scheduled for Friday, 5th June 2026, at The Old Courts, Wigan, aimed at outlining emerging commissioning intentions and service priorities. Interested parties should confirm attendance by 29th May 2026, with the overall process tagged as 'planning' as of the notice date, 12th May 2026. The full procurement process, scheduled to start service delivery from 1st April 2027, falls under the 'light touch' regime and is above the specified threshold.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth to businesses in the health and social services sectors, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies offering guidance, counselling, and rehabilitation services or other community and personal services may find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging in this process will not only provide potential long-term contracts but also allow businesses to influence the shaping of a comprehensive support service tailored to Wigan's community needs. Such involvement could pave the way for strategic partnerships and positioning within the local government's service delivery framework.
