## Summary

The Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "SOL - Children's Residential Care Spot Contract 2026". This contract involves the provision of national residential accommodation combined with individual care services for children and young people throughout the day. Categorised under health and social work services as well as accommodation services, the contract is part of a regional framework agreement using a national contract. It is planned to commence on 1 April 2026 and is set to conclude on 31 March 2028, with potential extension until 2032. The procurement process follows a light-touch regime and is valued at £8,700,000 GBP, grossing to £10,440,000 GBP.

The procurement is designed to leverage a national framework contract that ensures a consistent demand and structured engagement, providing a stable avenue for growth. Companies with experience in regional frameworks and national contracts would find it particularly beneficial to compete, given the nature of call-offs within the national contract parameters. The extensive potential duration, including renewals, offers businesses a long-term growth opportunity by securing a significant portion of public sector work in children's care services.
