Supported Living Care Services

Staffordshire County Council is in the planning stage for a tender titled "Supported Living Care Services," within the health and social work services industry. This involves providing support to individuals with assessed eligible care needs in Supported Living schemes. A key date to note is 19 March 2025, when the Supported Living Commissioning Plan will be presented for approval.

Following this, a market sector update event will be hosted online on 7 April 2025. The engagement process has a milestone due on 12 May 2025. The tender seeks services in Staffordshire (UKG24 region) and is part of a light-touch regime, with the contract period planned to start on 1 May 2026 and end on 30 April 2031.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities for care providers specialising in supported living services catering to individuals with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism, sensory impairments, and mental health conditions. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include those already providing regulated care services and registered with the Care Quality Commission. This framework agreement is particularly beneficial for SMEs capable of delivering independent care services in various Supported Living schemes across Staffordshire.

Interested care providers should consider attending the market sector update to understand the Commissioning Plan and network with relevant stakeholders.
