Supported Living Framework

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for its "Supported Living Framework," aimed at providing supported living services within Redcar & Cleveland. This initiative, classified under the health and social work services industry category, falls under an open procurement method but is yet to decide if it will be an open or closed framework. The procurement document was published on 18th May 2026, with anticipated commencement on 15th August 2027 and completion by 14th August 2035.

The project's gross value is estimated at £94.8 million, and the main focus is facilitating supported living schemes, dispersed properties with care, and outreach support within the UKC12 region in the United Kingdom. This tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in a long-term contract with considerable potential for business growth in the domain of health and social services. Businesses specialising in these services or related frameworks are well-positioned to compete, particularly those with experience in managing or delivering supported living frameworks.

The open procedure method indicates a transparent and straightforward procurement process, fostering competitive participation, thus opening avenues for expanding market reach and service provision capabilities in the regional sector.
