CN270826 - Working Age Adults Residential Living

Kent County Council · Local authority

In brief

Kent County Council has announced plans to buy care 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 £1,000,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 November 2027.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 62 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 £1,000,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Kent County Council currently commissions accommodation-based services for Learning Disability, Physical Disability and Mental Health (LDPDMH) Residential Care. The existing arrangements are due to come to an end in 2027. The Council is therefore undertaking market engagement to support the progression of the new Working Age Adults Residential Living service, which will replace Learning Disability, Physical Disability and Mental Health (LDPDMH) Residential Care, and to inform the market of the approach for the procurement. This opportunity was originally advertised as combined with Supported Living, but will now be procured as a standalone framework. Please note that all dates stated within this Notice in relation to the commencement, duration and any potential extension of the new service, are provisional and subject to change.

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.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
