Interested parties can submit tenders electronically through the Council's e-procurement portal, with a deadline set for 12 noon on 19th May 2026. The Framework, under the Light Touch Regime as per the Public Contract Regulations 2015, spans an initial term of 6 years and 6 months, ending on 31st March 2031, and has the potential for three additional years of extension. The estimated annual value of the Framework is approximately £27.5 million. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in supported living services for adults with diverse needs. Service providers that can deliver quality services in Southampton will have the chance to secure lucrative contracts and expand their operational footprint.

Businesses with expertise in innovative supported living solutions, particularly those well-versed in outreach models, may find this an ideal opportunity to grow within this market. New entrants to the framework can leverage this chance to access substantial funding from local authorities, positioning themselves favourably for future call-offs as the Framework evolves. ## Notice Southampton City Council (the "Council"), - in partnership with Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Commissioning Board - is undertaking the First Re-Opening of the Inclusive Lives Framework Part 1: Supported Living ("The Framework") and invites applications ("Tenders") from suitably experienced and qualified Service Providers.
