Summary, notice description and lot information
Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council has launched a tender for the provision of Community Opportunities under a Flexible Purchasing Solution (FPS). The procurement is aimed at appointing providers capable of delivering a wide range of health and social work services for adults with learning disabilities, autism, sensory impairments, multiple physical disabilities, epilepsy, dementia, and additional mental ill health. The process, currently at the Tender stage, invites applications with a submission deadline on the 25th March 2025.
Providers are encouraged to participate in a market engagement event on this date at Rotherham Town Hall. The contract is set to start on 6th May 2025 and has an initial duration of five years, which may be extended. Interested parties can access further details and the submission portal through YORtender.
This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses interested in the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in services for adults with complex needs. The FPS will remain open to new applicants, making it accessible for both established organisations and smaller community groups or micro enterprises. Providers can bid for multiple Lots catering to different service levels and intensities, ranging from short-term enablement services to intensive support for complex needs.
Businesses with innovative solutions and a commitment to improving quality of life and independence for service users will find this tender particularly well-suited to their offerings, fostering growth and potentially securing long-term partnerships with the Council.
