UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council intends to commission sensory loss support services for people on the Isle of Wight. The service is intended to fulfil the council’s duties under the Care Act 2014, the Care and Support (Assessment) Regulations 2014 and Deafblind Guidance 2014.

The process is at planning stage, with market engagement intended to inform commissioning; there is no invitation to tender at this stage. The council’s proposed contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend by up to 24 months at the council’s discretion. The estimated value is £900,000 excluding VAT (£1,080,000 including VAT). The market engagement exercise is scheduled through 6 November 2026, and the next notice is expected on 17 November 2026.

The service is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is likely to suit providers able to deliver sensory loss support services for Isle of Wight residents and meet the relevant care and support duties. The council is undertaking market engagement to inform its commissioning approach, so providers with relevant service-delivery experience may be well placed to contribute to that preparation.
