## Summary

Staffordshire County Council has commissioned a framework for building-based day services predominantly for older people aged 65 and over, with eligible needs under the Care Act. This procurement process, valued between £9.87 million and £12.34 million over five years, is described as a Light Touch Contract under the act. The framework covers various locations in Staffordshire, including Staffordshire Moorlands, Newcastle under Lyme, and others within the region designated as UKG24. The process has successfully moved to the award stage, with contracts beginning on 1 October 2025 and extending until 30 September 2028, with options for a two-year extension. This open procedure allows for flexibility in reopening the framework as necessary during the term to address supplier capacity or emerging needs.

The multi-lot structure and open nature of the framework cater to providers with diverse capabilities and services, enhancing business growth potential by allowing suppliers to apply across geographical and service-specific lots. This offers a unique platform for businesses focused on quality care to expand their operations, bolster their service areas, and contribute to community well-being. With fixed prices and the possibility of joining the framework through reopened competition, businesses have sustained opportunities to enter or enhance their presence in the regional market.
