UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Supported Accommodation Multi Cohort 16-25". This project aims to provide supported accommodation services divided into three lots, catering to care leavers, families, and short-term care provisions in the Manchester area. The process is slated for a tender launch in late summer to early autumn of 2026, following a market engagement phase that requires completion of a questionnaire by 6th July 2026. The procurement falls into the services category within the health and social work services industry, with the project expected to commence on 1st April 2027 and conclude on 31st March 2032.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their operations within the health and social care sector. Particularly, businesses capable of providing Ofsted registered services for accommodation and support to vulnerable cohorts aged 16 to 25 stand to benefit. The tender structure allows for flexibility, such as an overlay model with joint providers, encouraging diverse organisations to participate and grow their impact in the community support domain.
