Can I win this?

Competition

Usually low: a median of 2 bids per contract for this buyer (from 5 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 £2,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Our aspiration is to have all supported living placements made through the framework where providers have equal opportunity to bid for work and people who draw on services have choice over who, where and how they are supported to live. Solihull wants people to receive the support they need, when they need it and for as long as it is needed. We want people to maximise their independence and remain in their homes for as long they want to or can do so We want to work with providers who can demonstrably support people to achieve their outcomes and seek solutions when challenges and issues arise that affect the existing support plan.

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.
