Stockport Day Opportunities
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is in the planning stage for a tender titled "Stockport Day Opportunities." This tender, focusing on health and social services, is set in the UK region designated as UKD. The council aims to diversify its offerings under the revised Day Opportunities Framework in accordance with the Care Act 2014.
The procurement process, classified as services under a light-touch regime, involves soft market testing slated by 26th January 2026. The procurement process is planned to engage providers who align with the council's vision for flexible and person-centred services that go beyond traditional building-based care. This tender creates a robust opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are capable of providing innovative, community-based models of care.
Businesses that are focused on offering diverse and flexible health and social services, particularly those interested in engaging in framework agreements, will find this opportunity promising. Providers who can support the council's vision of enhancing life quality through meaningful and diversified services may experience significant growth by competing in this tender process.
The revised Day Opportunities Framework in Stockport went live in April 2025 with the intention of offering a diverse range of provision aligned with the Care Act 2014. The ambition was to ensure that services were flexible, meaningful, enjoyable and genuinely person-centred in both design and delivery. However, uptake during the initial launch did not achieve the level of diversification expected.
Provision has continued to focus predominantly on traditional building-based services. While these services remain valued and needed, Stockport Council aims to build on this foundation by also expanding into community-based and innovative models that further support residents to live "a gloriously ordinary life." Before reopening the framework to additional providers, the Council proposes undertaking soft market testing--outlined below--to understand the level of interest and capacity among providers who share Stockport's vision for diverse, flexible and person-centred Day Opportunities.
