## Summary

The London Borough of Brent is currently facilitating a procurement process for the "Day Opportunities Framework for the Provision of Community Based Activities for Adults" using a Competitive Flexible procedure. This procurement, designed under a Light Touch Open Framework, seeks to provide community-based activities for people over 18 in need of Adult Social Care support, including individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health requirements, and older adults with dementia. The procurement process, which is presently in the tender stage, outlines key deadlines: with enquiries closing on 12th December 2025, submissions to be completed by 19th December 2025, and the award period concluding on 27th April 2026. The services, valued at up to £26,147,597 gross, will be delivered across the UK, specifically within Brent and potentially in several neighbouring boroughs.

This framework provides an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on social work and daycare services to expand their reach and impact within the public sector. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the process encourages inclusivity and diversity in providers. With no limit on the number of suppliers and the framework reopening annually, new entrants have ample opportunity to join and grow their business by providing innovative, community-based care solutions that align with Brent Council's objectives. Businesses specializing in day services, employment support, and adult social care can benefit by engaging in long-term contracts and developing services aligned with the council's community participation goals.
