## Summary

The Stoke on Trent City Council is in the planning stage for reopening the "Supported Living and Social Opportunities Framework" for Years 2 and 3. The framework encompasses health and social work services, focusing on enhancing supported living and social opportunities in the UKG23 region, with services delivered without accommodation. A Bidders Day is scheduled for 13th May 2026 at 9:30 AM via Microsoft Teams, offering an overview of commissioning intentions and procurement updates. Attendees, including potential bidders, can gain insights into eligibility, requirements, and application processes. Businesses considering a bid are encouraged to attend. The procurement process anticipates future notice communication by 1st June 2026, with the total contract valued at £47 million.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing social work services. Existing providers and new entrants to the market can prepare high-quality submissions to secure one of four lots: Supported Living Hourly Rate, Supported Living - Sleep In, Building-Based Social Opportunities, and Outreach Social Opportunities. Both established service providers and newcomers specialising in health and social work services can benefit from engaging at the Bidders Day, ensuring they align with the council’s framework objectives. Businesses that can deliver community-based activities or supported living arrangements, particularly in the UKG23 region, could effectively compete in this tender. The process is designed to accommodate up to four lots per supplier, enabling organisations to diversify their service offerings under this framework.
