Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council is announcing the SHaRe Framework (Support, Help and Resources), a comprehensive commissioning approach to consolidate various services for children and young people. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with engagement and focus group sessions scheduled to run from 10th June to 1st July 2026, aimed at gathering insights on service specifications. The framework will include services such as Short Breaks, Floating Support for Children and Young People with Disabilities, and the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme, targeting the Health and Social Work Services industry category. Located in the UKK13 region, this initiative marks a significant opportunity for businesses involved in similar community services to engage with the local council and contribute to the framework’s development.

The SHaRe Framework offers exciting prospects for businesses looking to expand within the public sector's health and social work, and community services domains. With a gross value of approximately £129.3 million, the framework is open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), offering a structured platform for growth. Given the framework's design around a range of supportive services, it is especially beneficial for businesses that specialise in providing community-facing programmes. Companies that are well-versed in delivering innovative, inclusive services and those that offer support for young individuals with disabilities may find this to be an excellent fit for their expertise and objectives. Engaging in the early planning stage could strategically position businesses to influence and align themselves with the council's vision.
