Summary of the contracting process

The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the planning phase for the procurement of the "SOL30248 Sunhaven Extra Care Scheme."

The planned start date for the contract is 20th October 2026, with an end date on 19th October 2031. The next significant milestone is a future notice date scheduled for 1st July 2026.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses engaged in providing social care services.
