## Summary

South Tyneside Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Market Engagement Event for Suppliers of Independent Supported Living for Adults with Mild/Moderate Needs." This falls within the 'Health and social work services' industry category and will take place in South Shields, UK. A Supplier Engagement Event is scheduled on Friday, 14th November 2025, from 10:00 to 12:00 at One Trinity Green, Havelock Street, South Shields, NE33 5RW. The consultation will gather supplier feedback to inform the service model and subsequent tender exercise. The process includes formulating proposals with contributions from service users, families, carers, and professionals, aiming to refine the service specification and contract requirements. The tender is part of a planned framework agreement guided by UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those providing services for adults with mild to moderate needs in supported living settings. Businesses that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete, as the procurement process is designed to accommodate their participation. The advertised engagement event will be crucial for gathering insights and positioning your business strategically for the upcoming tender, starting in early 2027. Companies with a proven CQC registration for delivering personal care in a supported living context, or who are looking to break into the services market under a new framework or dynamic market structure, will find this a valuable opportunity for growth and expansion.
