Day Opportunities

Leeds City Council is in the planning stage of a tender process titled "Day Opportunities," aimed at providing a service for people with learning disabilities. This initiative focuses on delivering daycare services to foster independence and social interaction for the beneficiaries. The procurement falls within the services category, utilising a light-touch regime and above-threshold engagement with a framework agreement setup.

The key milestone for this initiative is a market engagement phase scheduled to conclude by 28th February 2026. The project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKE42 region of Leeds, and is intended to commence on 1st January 2027, running through to the end of 2032. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in or seek to expand into the provision of meaningful activities and support services for individuals with learning disabilities.

It offers a long-term partnership potential, encouraging innovative service provision that promotes social inclusion and independent living. Businesses with expertise in delivering group or individual activity sessions away from home environments, capable of meeting statutory duties and providing family respite, would find this procurement particularly fitting to grow their service presence within the public sector in Leeds.
