SOL30264 Supported Living Framework

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Solihull Metropolitan Borough 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 £175,200,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, up to 8 years with extensions, starting 1 July 2027.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 8 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 £175,200,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Supported Living Services currently supports 245 adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, mental health needs and complex support requirements. The existing Supported Living Flexible Contracting Arrangement has supported the development of a diverse provider market and delivers positive outcomes for people drawing on support, and this demand continues to increase as a result of demographic growth, increasing complexity of need and transitions from Children Services to Adult Social Care, and expires in June 2026. Within a current service review, the Council may propose an Open Framework that provides a compliant and flexible commissioning approach that enables provides to join the framework at defined intervals throughout the life of the contract, and strengthen the Council's ability to respond to increasing demand, develop local provision, improve commissioning oversight and fulfil its market shaping responsibilities under the Care Act 2014.
