Summary of the contracting process

The City & County of Swansea is procuring a framework for day opportunity services for adults with eligible needs. The framework is intended to support daytime wellbeing, bring existing external provision into closer alignment with Swansea’s day opportunities model, and support the adult services operating model. It covers four service areas: community or building-based prevention and early intervention; building-based low-level managed care; building-based complex needs care; and community-led, collaborative support that enables people to live well. The services are health and social work services (CPV 85000000) delivered in Swansea. The arrangement is relevant to organisations providing community support, wellbeing services, managed care, complex needs care or innovative, person-centred support for adults.

The procurement has reached tender: Swansea invited offers through an open procedure for a closed framework agreement, with contracts awarded with and without reopening competition. The enquiry deadline was 21 August 2026 and the tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 00:00. The award decision was due by 1 October 2026 at 23:59. The estimated framework value is £20,000,000 excluding VAT (£24,000,000 including VAT). Each of the four lots has an estimated value of £5,000,000 excluding VAT. Contracts were planned to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031, with renewal of up to 24 months, extending to 31 October 2033. Lots 1–3 are evaluated 40% on method statements and 60% on price; lot 4 is evaluated entirely on method statement questions. Bids may be submitted electronically in English or Welsh.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, with all four lots identified as suitable for both. Suppliers should be able to deliver structured daytime support for adults with eligible needs, either in community or building-based settings. Relevant strengths include prevention and early intervention, low-level managed care, complex needs care, or community-led support that helps people live well. Organisations with established community services, care delivery teams, wellbeing programmes or innovative collaborative support models are likely to find a suitable route into the framework. The first three lots require a credible delivery method to be demonstrated and balanced against price, while the innovation lot places the evaluation emphasis on the proposed method statement.
