In brief

Walsall 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 £10,800,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 58 months, up to 118 months with extensions, starting 1 June 2027.

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

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 18 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 £10,800,000 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 care and support services that enable children and young people to remain safe, included and supported within their families and communities whilst achieving positive outcomes and greater independence. The Council is committed to ensuring that children and young people receive the right support, at the right time and in the right place. The Care and Support in the Home and Community Contract will provide flexible, personalised and outcome-focused support that enables children and young people to remain connected to their families, communities and support networks whilst achieving positive and sustainable outcomes. The Council recognises the increasing demand for community-based services that promote independence, wellbeing, inclusion, and family resilience. The Contract will be designed to provide access to a diverse range of support options that respond to assessed need, build on individual strengths, and help prevent escalation to more intensive interventions wherever appropriate.

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.
