## About this tender

Swindon Borough Council is seeking to commission a supported living framework for adults with needs aged 18 and over. This is the annual re-opening of the contract initially commissioned in September 2025 for a term of 2 years with this being the 2nd year of the 2year term.

Contract Notice: 2025/S 000-002974 refers. If the supplier have been awarded onto the framework last year then they do not need to reapply.

This annual re-opening is for a 1year period only from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027. The contract has two potential 2year extensions which the Authority may decide to invoke during this last year of the initial term. Please see ITT documents for details.

This 1year contract value is £21m.

The Framework will be under one lot but with three categories

- General Needs
- Complex Needs
- Complex Plus

The Framework will be advertised and all applicants must pass the minimum criteria to be awarded a place on the Framework.

There will be a core requirement for any bidding providers to apply for category one (General Needs). Bidders can then decide if they wish to also apply for category 2 and 3 (Complex and Complex PLUS), bidders cannot apply for categories 2 or 3 without bidding and being awarded a place for Category one (General Needs) as users often need to move between category one and the other categories
