This initiative falls under the social work and related services category and is situated in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, United Kingdom. A key event related to this procurement will take place on 9 March 2018, providing potential suppliers with insights into the commissioning intentions and allowing them to engage with the council's objectives. Interested providers must note that this stage does not constitute a formal procurement process, but participation in the market engagement is encouraged to help shape future proposals. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses that specialise in supported living services, particularly those with experience in assisting individuals at risk of contact with the Criminal Justice system or those with a forensic history. New providers looking to enter the market, as well as existing providers on the supported living framework, are invited to engage and share their thoughts on the forthcoming services. Key discussions will include service specifications and best practices, making this a valuable chance for businesses to align their capabilities with the council's needs and gain visibility in this specialised sector. ## Notice The City of Wolverhampton Council are inviting providers to hear about an upcoming tendering opportunity for a Supported Living Framework for people who are at risk of coming into contact with the Criminal Justice system or have a forensic history.
