UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council is reviewing future short-break and day-opportunity services for South Tyneside residents aged 18 and over with eligible care and support needs under the Care Act 2014. The work is intended to ensure future provision meets the needs of adults receiving care and support, unpaid carers, and young people preparing for adulthood. This is a health and social care services requirement, covering the design and delivery of short breaks and day services. Services will be delivered for people in South Tyneside. The council is the public-sector buyer and is considering how its commissioned offer should develop before a future procurement reaches the market.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to procure but has not invited tenders. It has planned a supplier engagement event for 6 November 2026 at One Trinity Green, Eldon Street, South Shields, with registration and networking from 9:45am, a 10am start and an anticipated noon finish. The council expects the resulting contract to run from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2032. The requirement is above the applicable threshold and is divided into one planned lot. The engagement is intended to inform the review of future short-break and day-opportunity provision before the procurement procedure and evaluation arrangements are settled.

The engagement will suit organisations that provide or are developing short-break services, day opportunities, community support or related adult social care provision. Providers with experience supporting adults with Care Act eligible needs are likely to find the discussion relevant, particularly where they also work with unpaid carers or support young people preparing for adulthood. Organisations able to contribute practical views on service design, commissioning and future delivery models may be well placed to influence the council’s review. This is a preparation opportunity rather than a contract that can be bid for now. It is relevant to established care providers, voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises and potential delivery partners considering work in South Tyneside.
