Supported Living Open Framework

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is advancing a procurement initiative titled "Supported Living Open Framework," targeting the health and social work services industry in the region. Situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire, the framework is a significant opportunity within the services procurement category. This procurement process has progressed to the award stage as of 15 December 2025, with a contract signed on 1 April 2025.

The framework, which initially spans until 31 March 2033, includes extension options up to three further periods of twenty-four months, potentially expanding the framework's reach over time. The procurement follows an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime, pursuant to the EU Public Contracts Directive 2014/24/EU. With an estimated contract value of £700 million, it denotes a substantial component of the region's health and social work sector procurement strategy.

This framework opens up myriad opportunities for care agencies and organisations specialising in supported living schemes or large care packages, excluding direct payments for individuals. Organisations of various sizes are encouraged to apply, as the framework supports a dynamic pool of pre-qualified suppliers, capable of expansion over time. Successful applicants could benefit from long-term growth, tapping into a steady stream of commissioned work.

It is particularly suited to agencies with a strong compliance record in home care services under the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and capable of delivering high-quality, person-centred care with demonstrable improvement actions from previous CQC ratings. The open nature of the framework allows continuous opportunities to join, fostering an inclusive environment welcoming innovative solutions from diverse suppliers seeking business growth in the health and social sector.
