This process is focused on the industry category of services, specifically aiming at supported housing services for adults within the local authority area in Swindon, UK. This initiative is designed to inform the Council's future commissioning strategy by consulting the current market, gathering insights from existing providers, professionals, and individuals with experience in this domain. The preliminary market engagement is scheduled to conclude by 29th June 2026. The procurement process emphasises critical engagement without seeking commitments or pricing at this stage, aiming instead to enhance understanding of market capacities and issues. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in welfare services for the elderly, disabled people, and community health and accommodation management services. Particularly, organisations that provide accommodation and support for adults facing challenges with independent living, such as homelessness, mental health issues, or disabilities, can leverage this engagement exercise to shape future service provisions. This engagement is not only a gateway to potential future contracts but also a chance to influence the service delivery approach and priorities in the supported housing sector within Swindon. Businesses with innovative solutions and experience in promoting independence and well-being would be well-positioned to engage with this tender opportunity. ## Notice Swindon Borough Council is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) with providers across the market to inform the future commissioning of supported housing services for adults within the local authority area. The Council currently commissions a range of supported housing provision and is seeking to use this engagement to help shape its future approach. This builds on insight gathered from current providers, professionals, and people with lived experience. The scope of this exercise focuses on supported housing services for adults with the following needs: * People experiencing or at risk of homeslessness * individuals with a mental health need * adults with disabilities It should be noted that some elements of current provision will not be included, as existing arrangements are due to conclude at different times. Separate arrangements are being developed for children's supported housing, including a dedicated preliminary market engagement and subsequent tender exercise. It is anticipated that future services would involve the provision of accommodation and support for adults who are unable to maintain independent living. This includes individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and those with disabilities or mental health needs. Services will be expected to support individuals to sustain accommodation, promote independence and wellbeing, enable access to wider services, and support people to move on to and maintain independent living with little or no ongoing support. This engagement is being undertaken to better understand the supported housing market for adults, including current pressures, capacity, and potential future risks. It does not form part of a procurement exercise and does not seek pricing, commitments, or guarantees. Providers may request clarification on the questions. Responses will be shared, where appropriate, to support a consistent understanding across the market. ### Planning Information Preliminary Market Engagement ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056461-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Jun 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2027 - 31 Mar 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SWINDON BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN1 2JH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Eastcott | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | TLK14 Swindon | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85311100 - Welfare services for the elderly - 85311200 - Welfare services for the handicapped - 85323000 - Community health services - 98341100 - Accommodation management services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2026 at 09:06 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056461-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/056461-2026 16th June 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.swindon.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
