## Summary

The Cheshire East Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for Day Opportunities, aimed at shaping the future of services for adults. The process falls under the services category, specifically targeting the health and social work sector. The Council, located in Crewe, UK, is organising a preliminary market engagement event on 10th March 2026 at Macclesfield Town Hall. Providers interested in contributing to this service provision are invited to attend the engagement event by confirming their participation by 6th March. The total estimated value of the contract is £1,400,000, and the contract period is planned from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2032 under the 'light touch' regime, suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. The procurement involves a framework agreement, thus attracting businesses that seek long-term partnership opportunities with sub-central governmental bodies.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, especially those with expertise in providing day opportunities for adults. SMEs and VCSEs stand to benefit significantly, as the procurement process is designed to be inclusive of these types of organisations. Participating businesses will gain the chance to collaborate directly with Cheshire East Council, influencing the design and delivery of essential community services. This engagement can foster business growth through sustained contracts and potential networking with other providers and council representatives, creating a collaborative ecosystem to enhance service outcomes. Businesses that specialise and innovate in health and social care can leverage this opportunity to expand their services and impact within the Cheshire East region.
