UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Kingston Upon Hull City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Complex Care Framework," which relates to the industry category of social work and related services. This framework is designed to address the complex needs of their clients and is planned to operate from 10 January 2027 to 9 January 2032. Located in Hull, within the United Kingdom's UKE11 region, the procurement carries a projected gross value of £9,600,000. The procurement is to be conducted using a selective method under a framework agreement, adhering to the legal basis outlined in UK legislation 2023/54. The current stage involves planning, with initial notices published in May 2026, setting the groundwork for subsequent tender processes.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in social services, especially those with capabilities in delivering complex care solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as indicated by the suitability criteria favouring these business types. Engaging in this framework could provide sustained service contracts over a five-year term, fostering stable revenue streams for businesses that can meet the Council's requirements for high-quality, complex care services.
