The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with an engagement end date set for 16th March 2023. The buying organisation is seeking to engage with suitably qualified providers to shape the commissioning process for the services. This tender for Community Services offers opportunities for businesses involved in Community Health Services.

Each Locality will make their own decision about the final model and procurement date, and these will be shared at the appropriate time. The scope, value, process(es) and contract model(s) of the services to be implemented are yet to be determined, however, it is expected that each Locality (Banes, Swindon & Wiltshire) will be commissioning separately, and may include Adult community services, Children's community services, or both.
