UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is exploring an integrated digital solution to support and enhance the future delivery of its Adult Social Care internal provision services. The requirement is for software and information systems, covering the digitalisation of internal provision services and the associated technical options, benefits and market solutions. The Council is seeking to understand the full range of available approaches, including innovative offerings, and how suppliers could support service delivery. The work is intended for delivery across the Council’s area in the West Midlands. It is structured as a single planned requirement. Suppliers with relevant digital technology, software implementation and adult social care systems experience may find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to provide an integrated solution rather than a standalone product.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is not an invitation to tender. The Council is conducting a further round of preliminary market engagement to gather information on available options, technical approaches, benefits, market capability and indicative costs. Interested suppliers are asked to complete a market engagement questionnaire; suppliers that responded to the earlier round do not need to apply again. The Council’s stated closing expectation for questionnaire responses is 12 noon on 16 October 2026. The planned contract period is from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2032. The requirement is a single lot and is currently classified as planning. No procurement procedure, bid evaluation basis or contract value has been set out at this stage.

This engagement is suited to suppliers preparing to shape a future solution for council-run Adult Social Care services. The Council is looking for evidence of market capability and capacity to deliver an integrated digital system, together with practical information on technical options, service benefits, available innovations and indicative costs. Relevant businesses are likely to include software providers, systems integrators and implementation partners with experience of digitalising operational services, connecting information systems and supporting public-sector or social-care environments. Suppliers should be able to explain how their solution would be implemented, operated and developed to support future service delivery. The planned requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may also be well placed to contribute.
