UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council is seeking a provider for supported living care services under Care Package 68094. The service must be delivered in Cornwall. This is a local care-service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work; the available description identifies supported living but does not provide further detail on the care model or the people who will receive support.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The tender set a submission deadline of 19 October 2026 at 14:00, with electronic submission permitted through The Chest. The estimated value is £300,000 gross. The contract period is scheduled to run from 5 January 2027 to 4 January 2031, with an option for renewal up to 5 January 2034; renewals are described as being made as required and with regard to performance. The opportunity is divided into one lot. Offers are assessed on acceptable price, answers to quality questions and subsequent interview performance.

The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so providers in either group may be well placed to compete. Suppliers need to be able to deliver supported living services in Cornwall. The stated evaluation approach means bidders should be ready to present an acceptable price, answer quality questions and perform at a subsequent interview. The procurement description does not set out further service specifications or particular qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or experience requirements; the stated scope and evaluation basis are therefore the clearest indicators of fit.
