UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wrexham County Borough Council intends to procure emergency short care staff services for Wrexham County Borough. The requirement will establish a framework of suitably experienced and qualified providers, enabling the council to arrange individual contracts and service orders through a call-off process once the framework is operational. The work is classified as social work and related services (CPV 85300000) and falls within the services category. Delivery will take place in Wrexham County Borough. The stated purpose is to provide emergency short care staffing in a timely and coordinated way on behalf of the council. This is a public-sector care and social support requirement for providers able to supply appropriately qualified staff for emergency short-care needs.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to procure, but this record does not invite tenders. The expected route is an above-threshold open procedure for a framework agreement, with one planned lot. The estimated value is £3,200,000 excluding VAT, or £3,840,000 including VAT. The initial contract period is expected to run from 1 September 2030 to 31 August 2032, with renewal provisions allowing the arrangement to continue until no later than 31 August 2034. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 1 February 2030; this is an indicative publication date, not a supplier response deadline. The lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The framework is likely to suit care providers, social care agencies and voluntary or community organisations that can supply emergency short-care staff in Wrexham County Borough. Providers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience and qualifications for delivering short-care or related social work services, and to support the council’s need for timely, coordinated staffing. Organisations with the operational capacity to respond to individual service orders and work under a framework call-off arrangement will be well placed to prepare. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be relevant alongside larger staffing or care businesses. Suppliers should monitor the planned procurement and prepare evidence of capability for the eventual competition.
