The procurement, under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, aims to contract providers with relevant experience to deliver health and social work services to adults with eligible social care needs. This initiative focuses on service delivery within the region of Kirklees, classified under CPV 85000000. Awards have been granted through a restricted procedure with the selective procurement method. The most recent contracts, for the year 2025/2026, were signed on 31st December 2025 with various suppliers, such as Ability Options, Active, and Alpha May, each awarded different values for the provided services. The overarching EMP runs from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2027, with possible extensions up to 31 March 2032 and encompasses both community-based and building-based supported living services divided into seven distinct categories according to user primary care needs. This initiative provides significant opportunities for growth within the health and social work services industry, particularly for providers specialising in supported living for complex needs categories such as learning disabilities, autism, and mental health. The setup of this EMP allows new providers to join, offering a fresh opportunity to engage with local authorities in delivering essential services. Companies that focus on regulated activities and are appropriately registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will be well-suited to compete, offering services that support individuals to live independently while fostering community engagement. Overall, this procurement can benefit businesses focused on comprehensive care solutions, looking to expand their footprint within the Kirklees regional area. ## Notice The Council of the Borough of Kirklees (the "Council") is conducting this procurement exercise, in accordance with the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/102), and intends to establish an Electronic Market Place ("EMP") with Providers with relevant experience and ability to provide Supported Living Services on a non-exclusive basis to Adults with eligible Social Care needs for the Council.
