Invitation to Virtual Market Engagement Events - Adult Care Framework

Wokingham Borough Council is initiating a procurement process for its new Care and Support Framework in the adult care industry, categorised under health and social work services. The process is currently in the planning stage, with a series of virtual market engagement events scheduled for 26 and 27 February 2026. These events aim to introduce potential bidders to the framework, which will officially go out to tender by the end of March 2026.

The framework's implementation is set for 1 November 2026, covering services across Wokingham, United Kingdom. The tender follows a service procurement method, and interested parties are encouraged to express interest by 23 February 2026 to receive an invitation to participate in the events. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the health and social care sector, particularly those specialising in adult care services.

Companies focusing on strategic, person-centred care will be well-suited to compete for this framework, as the sessions will outline key priorities and the bidding process. Participation in the market engagement events will allow businesses to interact directly with Wokingham Borough Council commissioners, facilitating a deeper understanding of the procurement requirements and enhancing their chances of successful bidding. Furthermore, with the opportunity to engage in a multi-year contract that could extend well into the 2030s, this tender offers substantial potential for long-term business growth.
