This initiative is focused on the provision of social work and related services, specifically designed to improve support for individuals with learning disabilities. The engagement end date for this tender is set for 19 June 2019, and a supplier event is scheduled for 20 June 2019. Interested suppliers can register between 30 May 2019 and 19 June 2019 to participate in the discussions that will shape the council's future strategies. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for organisations that specialise in high-quality learning disability services and associated support systems. Businesses well-suited for this procurement include those offering care services, social work expertise, and innovative solutions for disability support. Engaging with Wokingham Council during this market engagement phase will allow suppliers to influence the council’s commissioning intentions and establish a foothold in a market that necessitates reliable and effective service delivery for individuals with learning disabilities. ## Notice Wokingham Council is developing its future plan on how it will support people with a learning disability and the families and friends who care for them. Wokingham has one of the highest prevalence rates in England for people with learning disabilities needing support and is second in the south east region. We spend over PS19 million per year on learning disability services with a high per capita spend when compared with other English councils.Supporting people with learning disabilities is a key strategic priority for the council. Our new strategy will drive the recommissioning of local services and a procurement plan that will be taken forward over the next few years. This offers suppliers of good quality learning disability services new opportunities to develop and provide services in Wokingham. We want to engage suppliers of support and care services to people with learning disability in the development of the council's strategy. In particular we want supplier views on what the council should consider with regard to developing a local market able to deliver the council's commissioning intentions and ambition for its residents with a learning disability. We invite suppliers to register an interest in attending a supplier event that will take place on Thursday 20 June 2019 between 2pm and 4pm at Wokingham Council's offices.
