Flexible Purchasing System for Daytime Opportunities in Tameside
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process, led by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, relates to the "Flexible Purchasing System for Daytime Opportunities in Tameside". It focuses on health and social work services under an open procurement method, tailored for creating a framework of providers. The services aim to provide daytime opportunities to individuals requiring care, enhancing their independence and meeting personal needs and aspirations.
The process encompasses various stages including planning, tender, and award, with the final contract having been signed on 24th November 2025. The awarded providers will commence service provision on 1st January 2026, extending through to 31st December 2030, with an option for an additional two-year extension until the end of 2032. The location of the procurement is within the UKD3 region of the United Kingdom, specifically around Ashton under Lyne.
This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) already operating or eager to enter the health and social services industry. Businesses focusing on innovative daytime care solutions will find this tender especially pertinent, as the framework favours services that are co-produced and person-centred. The procurement process allows SMEs to participate actively, supporting diversity and competition in the market.
Furthermore, the involvement of a variety of suppliers from different regions underscores the potential for collaboration and expansion of services, thereby offering ample scope for businesses to enhance their market presence and service offerings in the Tameside region.
We are looking to set up a framework of providers of day time options for people in need of care and support. Previously we had a lead provider model contract with Active Tameside who managed the contract and a consortium of other day time providers on behalf of the council, however, a decision has been made to bring the management function back into the Council and therefore, we wish to develop a framework of providers to deliver the commissioned day time activities only. The Council is seeking to commission a Framework of providers to provide a range of Daytime Opportunities for individuals requiring care and support.
The Flexible Purchasing System (FPS) will be integral in the delivery of the Council's strategic direction for Daytime Opportunities that focuses on what individuals want to achieve and meeting their needs, aspirations and preferred outcomes, whilst increasing and maintaining their independence. The Provider will be responsible for arranging delivery of a range of daytime activities whilst also developing new innovative Daytime Opportunities that are co-produced. The Providers must make information available to the Council, individuals, families and carers, which offers an insight into its facilities, the services available and its philosophy and where they feel individuals will fit into and benefit from the service on offer.
AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES The aim of the FPS will be to provide modern and comprehensive Daytime Opportunities that are person centred, promotes positive risk taking, and enable individuals to recognise their strengths and achieve their full potential.
