Communiity Support and Opportunities

Staffordshire County Council is in the planning stage for a public procurement process titled "Community Support and Opportunities," focusing on the health and social work services sector. As a sub-central government public authority, the council aims to replace its Light Touch Regime Dynamic Purchasing System for community-based day opportunities. The services are to be delivered within the UKG2 region of the United Kingdom, with a projected contract value of £64,000,000.

This procurement falls under the services category and operates under a light-touch regime, with a framework agreement in place. The planned timeline for the contract is from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2034, with a future notice date set for 6th January 2026. Interested parties should contact the Staffordshire County Council's commercial team for more information.

This procurement process presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the health and social work services sector. By participating in this tender, businesses can broaden their portfolio and enhance their local involvement by providing essential community-based services. Companies with experience in delivering health and social care services, particularly those familiar with a framework agreement structure and light-touch regimes, will find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities.

Engaging in this procurement could also potentially provide sustained revenue due to the lengthy contract duration.
