The tender, titled "Enhanced Supporting Living Service," aims to provide specialist support for individuals with social care needs, including those at risk of contact with the criminal justice system, presenting complex mental health or behavioural challenges. The virtual provider engagement session is scheduled for Tuesday 11 July 2023, with a deadline for confirming attendance by Wednesday 5 July 2023. The procurement method is an Open procedure (above threshold), and the tender period ends on 5 July 2023, with the contract period running from 31 July 2023 to 29 July 2024. This tender opportunity by Dudley MBC offers a chance for businesses operating in health and social work services to provide specialist support for vulnerable individuals. Companies with experience in care services for those with complex needs, mental health issues, or forensic history are well-suited to compete. The procurement process caters to service providers interested in shaping future proposals and potentially participating in the formal procurement stage. This opportunity aligns with the council's aim to enhance support services for specific demographics, presenting a valuable growth prospect for businesses in the care sector. ## Notice Dudley MBC are inviting providers to hear about an upcoming tendering opportunity for a new framework - Enhanced Supporting Living Services.

The session will give an overview of the current services provided in Dudley, describe the Council's visions going forward and explain the procurement process. The information gathered from this exercise will help shape future proposals including any potential tendering process and associated service specification. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the pre-procurement market engagement process shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the pre-procurement process shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the pre-procurement market engagement procurement process will be at each supplier's own cost. No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the Council. This is not a call for competition. The virtual provider engagement session will be held via MS Teams between 12.00pm - 1.30pm on Tuesday 11 July 2023 to provide further information about this tender opportunity.
