Swindon Working Age Adult Residential Care Home Framework

Swindon Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Swindon Borough 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 £36,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 7 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 9.5 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 £36,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The provision of residential services for working age adults with care needs that cannot otherwise be met, e.g. for complex learning disability.

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.
