UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is procuring adult day activity services for around 270 people with a learning disability and/or autism. The requirement is for one provider to operate 18 day services across 16 locations throughout the Bradford district. The services fall within health and social work provision and are intended to support adults through multiple day activities. This is a substantial, district-wide service operation rather than a supply contract for goods or standalone consultancy. It will suit organisations able to deliver person-centred day services consistently across several sites, coordinate provision for a large number of service users and work with the Council across the district.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure with two stages. Stage 1 requires a procurement-specific questionnaire and tender by 12:00 noon on 30 September 2026; up to three highest-scoring bidders may then be invited to Stage 2, a scored presentation to residents and Council officers, with responses due by 12:00 noon on 6 November 2026. Enquiries close at 12:00 noon on 16 September 2026. The estimated value is £51.2 million excluding VAT, or £61.44 million including VAT. The contract is planned for 5 April 2027 to 4 April 2032, with an optional extension of up to 36 months. Award is expected by 7 December 2026. Evaluation is 90% response to the service specification and 10% social value.

This opportunity suits established adult social care and community service providers with the operational capacity to deliver day activities for approximately 270 people across 18 services and 16 locations. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bidders will need to demonstrate both economic and technical suitability, with the detailed requirements set out in the tender documentation. Strong candidates are likely to have relevant experience supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, managing multi-site services, safeguarding service users, coordinating qualified staff and maintaining consistent service quality across a district-wide operation. Providers should also be able to evidence a credible approach to social value and deliver a scored presentation to residents and Council officers.
