Supported Living and Social Opportunities Framework Year 2 & 3 Reopening ASCHIW/2021/132

Stoke on Trent City Council · Local authority

In brief

Stoke on Trent City 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 £47,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

It is split into 4 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 14 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 £47,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Bidders Day - Reopening of the Supported Living and Social Opportunities Framework[SH2.1] The Council will be hosting a Bidders Day to support the reopening of the Supported Living and Social Opportunities Framework. This event is intended for both existing and prospective providers who are interested in delivering services under the renewed framework. The session will provide an overview of the framework, commissioning intentions, and key updates to the service specifications and procurement process. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from commissioning and procurement colleagues, gain clarity on eligibility and requirements, and ask questions about the application process. The Bidders Day is designed to help providers understand expectations, prepare high-quality submissions, and engage with the Council ahead of the framework reopening. Attendance is strongly recommended for organisations considering submitting a bid.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
