## Summary

Halton Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the Bredon Learning Disability Service. This process is a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) intended to shape a future tender process and assess market interest. The engagement document has been published, allowing interested organisations to participate and provide input. Site visits to Bredon are scheduled for late September and early October 2025, with a deadline for submissions on 10th October 2025. This initiative falls under the industry category of social work and related services, and it will be implemented in Widnes, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social care sector, particularly those specialising in services for adults with learning disabilities. Companies that can offer high-quality, person-centered care solutions and align with a life-course approach to service provision will find this process advantageous. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as their innovative and localised approach could be a perfect fit for the Council’s objectives. The contract is expected to run from September 2026 to August 2029, providing an extended period for organisational growth and service establishment.

## Notice

This is a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) process to assist the Council to design its tender process and gauge market interest. This is not a formal invitation to tender. We have an exciting opportunity for an organisation to work with us to help reshape our services to meet our overarching vision of ensuring the availability of good quality services for all Adults with Learning Disabilities, where services work around the individual, follow a life-course approach, and are provided locally.
