UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process initiated by Swindon Borough Council involves a project titled "Mental Health Scoping," which focuses on the development and market capacity of a crisis residential care home in Swindon. This facility aims to support adults with mental health needs, particularly in crisis management, wellbeing, recovery, and enablement. This procurement falls under the services category, with relevant classifications including housing services, social work and related services, and health services. Currently in the planning stage, the process includes a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) phase, with milestones such as a requirement for suppliers to register and respond to a questionnaire by midday on 17th June 2026 via the ProContract tender portal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health services, social work, and housing services to contribute to the formation of a vital mental health infrastructure in Swindon. Businesses specialising in crisis management, residential care provision, or those capable of delivering comprehensive mental health support services will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in the preliminary market engagement allows firms to help shape the tender specifications, which can lead to optimal outcomes for the Council and align the project with suppliers' capabilities, fostering potential for substantial business growth through collaboration and service provision.
