Description

Dudley MBC are inviting providers to hear about an upcoming tendering opportunity for a new Supported Living Framework. The Supported Living Framework will provide specialist support for people 17 ¾ years old and above with social care needs and will include separate Lots. The aim of this event is to provide an outline of the commissioning intentions, for commissioners to understand the interest and the market's capabilities and for potential service providers to gain a wider understanding of the scope, provide feedback and ask questions. The session will give an overview of the current services provided in Dudley, describe the Council's intentions and visions going forward for the market and explain the procurement process. The information gathered from this exercise will help shape future proposals including any potential tendering process and associated service specification. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process.
