TC1193 Framework for Supported Living and Day Opportunities

Manchester City Council initiated a procurement process for the "TC1193 Framework for Supported Living and Day Opportunities," classified under health and social work services. The framework encompasses four lots: Supported Living – Outreach and Community, Supported Living – Supported Accommodation, Day Opportunities, and Innovation. The services are expected to commence on 1 April 2025, spanning three years with an option for a one-year extension.

The complete procurement process has reached the award stage, with an overall estimated value potentially exceeding £20,000,000, based on current spending patterns. Located within the UKD3 region, this process employed an open procurement method facilitated through the Chest e-business portal, with initial closing for submissions at 11am on 17 June 2024. This procurement process presents significant potential for business growth, especially for organisations involved in social and healthcare services.

With the focus on supporting living and community services, businesses specialising in these areas can tap into new opportunities to expand their operations and client base. The participation requires compliance with economic and social regeneration objectives for the locality, ideally suiting well-established large organisations and small to medium enterprises keen on contributing towards social and environmental advancements. The framework agreement also allows flexibility for numerous suppliers, offering an expansive platform to engage and potentially collaborate with Manchester City Council in delivering valued public services.
