Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council is planning a procurement process for specialist short stay beds focused on rehabilitation services, primarily for individuals with physical health conditions. These services are intended to provide transitional care in a residential setting within Somerset, ensuring wheelchair accessibility to nearby town centres. This process falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the contract is expected to be awarded via the most suitable provider process. This tender, classified under CPV code 85312500, has an estimated value of £728,280 and is critical for the procurement of crucial rehabilitation services. The initial tender stage is set with a deadline for expressions of interest by 17 July 2026, with further information anticipated on 3 August 2026.

This procurement opportunity from Somerset Council presents a significant growth potential for businesses specializing in healthcare, particularly those offering rehabilitation and transitional care services. Given the specific requirement for accessible residential facilities, companies with capabilities in adaptive infrastructure and specialised health support are well-positioned to compete. The focus on a Provider Selection Regime implies that organisations with comprehensive service offerings and the ability to demonstrate value beyond price may have an advantage. This tender not only opens doors for local providers in Somerset but also for regional businesses aiming to expand their footprint in the healthcare sector.
