## Summary

The procurement process led by Stockton on Tees Borough Council involves the establishment of a framework agreement for building-based Supported Living Services for adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health support needs. This contract, titled "Framework for Supported Living Services for Adults (Phase 1)," focuses on two key schemes: Acorn House and Kirkdale House, located in the Stockton-on-Tees area (region UKC11). The process has progressed from the planning stage to the award stage, with contracts awarded as of February 2026. The open procurement method utilised by Stockton on Tees Borough Council is designed to encourage participation from a wide range of providers and is managed under the legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. Key dates include the standstill period ending on 2nd March 2026, a planned contract commencement on 1st April 2026, and a maximum extension until 31st March 2031.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in supported living services, particularly those registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for delivering personal care. The opportunity benefits large organisations such as Creative Support Limited, which has successfully secured the contracts for both Acorn House and Kirkdale House. With the procurement focusing on light-touch regime services, it is particularly suitable for large businesses and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), as well as VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) capable of managing significant schemes with multiple tenancies. The framework allows businesses to showcase their competencies in delivering person-centred care and promoting independence, critical elements of the bid evaluation criteria. This ensures a strategic avenue for enterprises to grow within the public sector service delivery landscape in the North East England region.
