## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council intends to develop a sustainable, modern community hub for Twyford and the surrounding area, following the closure of the previous community-based service at Lady Elizabeth Day Centre, Polehampton Close, Twyford. The service is intended to support local residents, particularly people aged 65 and over, through social connection, wellbeing activities, community engagement, prevention, independence and early help. This is a community-based health and social work service. Delivery is centred on Twyford and the surrounding district. The Council is considering organisations or groups able to deliver the future hub, including charities, voluntary and community sector organisations, community groups and other suitable partners. The work will involve creating and sustaining a locally accessible hub rather than providing a conventional goods supply or construction project.

This procurement is at the planning and preliminary market-engagement stage; it is an intention to procure, not an invitation to tender. The Council is seeking expressions of interest by 5 October 2026 at 17:00 to inform development of the future service. The expected contract period is 7 December 2026 to 7 December 2027, with renewal indicated and a maximum extent date of 7 December 2028. The published estimated value is £1 gross, in GBP. The service is classified as below the applicable threshold. One lot is planned, covering the whole community hub service. The eventual procurement procedure and award arrangements have not been settled in this planning information, so businesses should treat the dates and contract arrangements as indicative while the Council develops its requirements.

The work is likely to suit charities, voluntary and community sector organisations, community groups and other partners with the skills, experience and capacity to support older residents and the wider local community. Relevant strengths include designing or running community hubs, organising social and wellbeing activities, building community engagement, and providing prevention, independence and early-help support. Organisations should be able to develop a sustainable local service and work constructively with residents and the Council. Experience supporting people aged 65 and over would be particularly relevant. This may suit a committed local organisation or a partnership combining community reach, service-delivery expertise and operational capacity. Interested organisations can use the engagement phase to explain their capability and help shape the future hub before the procurement reaches the market.

## Notice

The closure of the previous community-based service at the Lady Elizabeth Day Centre, Polehampton Close, Twyford, RG10 9RP, has created an opportunity to develop a new, sustainable and modern community hub for Twyford and the surrounding area. The Council wants to ensure that local residents, particularly older people aged 65 and over, continue to have access to valued community-based support. The new hub should provide opportunities for social connection, wellbeing, activities and community engagement, while also supporting prevention, independence and early help. We are seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and committed organisations or groups who may be interested in delivering this future community hub. This may include charities, voluntary and community sector organisations, community groups, or other partners with the skills, experience and capacity to support local residents.
