The overall framework will be under two categories: Lot 1 for Standard Support includes supported accommodation for adults with severe mental illness, and Lot 2 for Enhanced Support targets adults with complex needs. The contracting opportunity mainly targets the Yorkshire and the Humber region and is classified under industry category CPV 85000000. This upcoming tender process presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those experienced in mental health care provision.
Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or volunteer community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable to engage in this tender, as indicated by their eligibility in the procurement documents. With demand for more inclusive and attentive mental health services rising, this tender could be a profitable venture for businesses that can deliver comprehensive support and accommodation to adults facing severe mental health challenges.

Some of these individuals may require support with personal care tasks or medication administration. Potential providers are invited to attend this market engagement event to learn more about the service specification and the upcoming procurement process.
