Complex AWD Residential Framework reopening 2025

Essex County Council is currently in the tender stage of reopening its Complex AWD Residential Framework for 2025, aimed at delivering registered residential care services to adults with complex needs, including those with learning disabilities and/or autism. This procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and utilises an open procedure method, making it a comprehensive opportunity for service providers. The framework's initial period spans four years from the contract award in March 2023, with a possible extension of two additional years.

The procurement process will conclude at noon on 5th December 2025, and the location of services is in the UKH3 region. Interested parties can submit their tenders electronically via ProContract, with all necessary documents accessible online. This tender offers substantial potential for business growth, especially for organisations in the health and social services sector seeking to expand or establish their presence in Essex.

The procurement's open framework nature means there is no cap on the number of providers, allowing businesses to enter without limitations on existing service provisions in the region. Companies providing specialized care and residential services for individuals with learning disabilities or autism may find this an ideal opportunity to secure long-term contracts, enhancing their service reach and operational scale within the Essex region.
