Summary of the contracting process
Warwickshire County Council is initiating a planning process for the future procurement of a Rehabilitation and Support Service for People with Sight Loss. The procurement stage is currently at the planning phase, with market engagement scheduled to conclude on 10 April 2026.
This preliminary market engagement activity is intended to inform the design of the upcoming procurement, with interested parties invited to register and participate via the council's e-tendering system, In-Tend Warwickshire. Located in Warwickshire, England, the Council seeks to design this service to address rising demand and cost pressures while focusing on positive individual outcomes.
The service falls under the industry category of social and community health services, highlighting its importance in providing essential support to those with vision impairments. Companies, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), can leverage this engagement to showcase their competencies and potentially secure future contracts in the service's re-procurement.
With a contract period envisaged to span from January 2027 to December 2029, inclusive of potential renewals up to December 2031, businesses that excel in delivering sight loss rehabilitation and support services are well-positioned to benefit from this initiative.
