26061 Cambridgeshire County Council Short breaks Activity Framework

Cambridgeshire County Council · Local authority

In brief

Cambridgeshire County Council has announced plans to buy care and healthcare work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1,700,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2028.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 37 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,700,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Cambridgeshire County Council have an existing Short Breaks Activity Framework which is due to expire, and we are looking to commission more Short Breaks providers into our framework to enhance our offer.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
