Summary of the contracting process

The West Northamptonshire Council is opening its Supported Living Framework to secure a provider for the Transforming Care Scheme, a project supporting autistic individuals with complex needs. This procurement, titled "Oak Tree Rise Supported Living," falls under the health and social work services category. The project comprises eight self-contained bungalows within the UKF24 region, specifically designed for individuals with learning disabilities.

Currently, in the planning stage, this process includes a tight timetable with the new provider expected to commence services by 1st April 2026. Key engagement dates include a virtual Market Engagement Event via MS Teams scheduled for 15th and 22nd October 2025 from 2:00-3:00pm, with the procurement opportunity aiming to launch shortly after these events. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with a proven track record of supporting individuals with autism and other complex needs.

Providers capable of demonstrating successful hospital discharge facilitation and prevention of long-term hospital admissions will be well-positioned to compete. The procurement could be particularly attractive for businesses experienced in managing supported living environments and those that can operate within a compressed timeline. Engaging in this process could enable businesses to expand their portfolio and contribute significantly to community welfare in West Northamptonshire.
