## Summary

Cheshire East Borough Council is seeking to re-establish a Framework for Community-based respite services, titled "18 134 COMMUNITY BASED RESPITE FRAMEWORK." This procurement, categorised under social work and related services (CPV code: 85300000), is currently at the tender stage. The open procedure allows participation from economic operators, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), with tender submissions due by 19 June 2019. Services will be delivered within the Cheshire East region, and the total contract value is set at £628,000, with the contract period running from 1 August 2019 to 6 January 2023.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses that specialise in social work and related services, particularly those focusing on community-based respite provisions, such as sitting services and shared living. The emphasis on SMEs means that smaller firms may have a competitive edge in this procurement, as the contracting authority is particularly interested in engaging local operators. Companies aiming to expand their service offerings in the North West of England should consider preparing their submissions to take advantage of this framework opportunity.

## Notice

Cheshire East Council is re-opening a Framework established for Community-based respite services, under the light touch regime. Services will include sitting service, shared lives and day opportunities to be delivered within the Cheshire East area. Note - the participation and process for this tender will be via the electronic tendering portal located at www.the-chest.org.uk. The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SME's). For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority points out that no weight will be attached to whether or not an economic operator is an SME in selecting economic operators to submit tenders or in assessing the most economically advantageous tender.
