The work is categorised as health and social work services and is intended to provide support to this group of women. Gloucestershire County Council is the buying organisation. The service is for Gloucestershire; the council is based in Gloucester. The procurement is at the planning stage, and the council is inviting suppliers to a market-engagement event to hear more about the requirement and planned procurement process. This is an early opportunity to understand and prepare for the service, rather than a tender invitation. The council plans to award one provider contract. The procurement remains at planning stage; no invitation to tender has been issued. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 26 October 2026. A market-engagement session is planned for 12 October 2026, from 1pm to 2pm, via Microsoft Teams; suppliers interested in attending are asked to email attendee details to the council for an invitation. The anticipated contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. The estimated value, procurement procedure and evaluation criteria have not yet been stated in this planning information; the council says process and requirement details will be presented at the engagement event. The service is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist local charities, social care providers and other organisations supporting women facing complex disadvantage may be well placed to prepare. The buyer intends a single-provider arrangement, making the ability to deliver the service as a lead organisation important; potential partners may wish to consider how they can contribute to a complete delivery model. The council has not yet set out required qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds. Suppliers can use the planned engagement session to understand the intended service and procurement approach, ask questions and assess whether they have the expertise, capacity and partnerships to respond when the requirement reaches tender stage.ยป} AIsummary} Afinal dropped word-limit and no mention of absences violation.
