## Summary

Nottingham City Council intends to commission community-based support opportunities, including day care and outreach services. The procurement is for social work and related services, supporting people through locally delivered community provision. It is a public service requirement led by Nottingham City Council and is expected to cover the council’s area. The planned service may suit organisations that provide day care, outreach, community support or related social care services. The procurement is classified under CPV 85300000 and falls within the light-touch regime for social and other specific services. It is intended to be established as a framework agreement, creating an arrangement through which supported services may be commissioned over the stated contract period.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to buy, but has not yet invited tenders. The council expects the next notice to be published on 1 June 2027. One lot is planned, with an anticipated contract period from 1 February 2028 to 31 January 2036. The estimated value is £51,800,000 excluding VAT, or £62,160,000 including VAT. The procurement is planned as a framework agreement under the light-touch regime. The single lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. These are indicative plans rather than a current invitation to bid.

The requirement is likely to suit established community support and social care providers able to deliver day care and outreach services at scale across Nottingham. Organisations with experience supporting people in community settings, coordinating frontline care, and delivering reliable, person-centred services should monitor the procurement as it develops. The council has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises, voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises may be suitable participants, so smaller providers and mission-led organisations should consider whether they can meet the eventual service requirements independently or through a partnership. Providers preparing should be ready to demonstrate relevant social care delivery experience, operational capacity, safeguarding arrangements, qualified staff and the ability to manage consistent service performance across a long-term framework.
