## Summary

Cambridgeshire County Council is currently managing a tender titled "Day Opportunities for Adults with a Learning Disability," which falls under the health and social work services category. The contracting process is at the active tender stage, with the open framework established under the 'Light Touch' provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations. The framework began on 1st May 2018 and will be active for a period of ten years, periodically re-opening for new and previously unsuccessful providers. The tender period is set to end on 30th April 2028, and the contract will commence on 1st May 2028. Interested parties are invited to apply as the framework remains open for submissions. The delivery addresses for this opportunity are within the East of England region, United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £40 million.

This tender presents significant opportunity for growth within the health and social care sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing services for individuals with learning disabilities. Providers who can demonstrate their ability to enhance the health and well-being of these individuals while promoting independence will be well-positioned to compete effectively. The emphasis on progression and independent living in the council's approach may further incentivise innovative solutions from potential providers, allowing them to cater effectively to a diverse range of needs.

## Notice

The next round of this framework has been delayed due to the Council Covid19 response. Cambridgeshire County Council has set up an Open Framework under the 'Light Touch' provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations (Chapter 3, Section 7 - Social and Other Specific Services). The Open Framework commenced on 01/05/18 and is for a period of 10 years. The Framework will re-open periodically for new and previously unsuccessful providers to apply. The closing date of the current opportunity to apply will be determined at a later date. The Open Framework is for day opportunities for adults with a learning disability. Providers must recognise the role they play in ensuring that people with learning disabilities experience the good health and well-being necessary to live a meaningful life. The Council is trying to move towards a model that helps people to live as independently as possible at all levels of need, so the focus is on progression. Peterborough City Council may call-off this framework for service users they have assessed as eligible using their own criteria.
