Published requirement description

The development of the Housing with Care Goods and Services Framework is intended to establish a strong partnership with like-minded businesses who share Wigan's values, attitudes and behaviours and demonstrates a commitment to Community Wealth Building.

It is designed to support individuals in setting up their homes and, through an ongoing programme of works, help them maintain independence and live safely within their community.

Under this agreement, the Client or their representative shall retain full discretion in selecting the supplier(s) from whom household goods and/or services are to be sourced.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Mar 2029, 23:59 GMT.

Published description of the framework

The Council has stipulated maximum prices for the goods and services procured under this Framework Agreement. The prices are inclusive of delivery and installation and may be subject to an annual inflationary uplift. Bids will not be evaluated on price.

Submissions for admission to the framework will be evaluated against two criteria: Quality (75 points) and Community Wealth Building (25 points). To be admitted to the framework, suppliers will need to achieve a minimum of 60 points from the Quality and CWB criteria.

All goods and services purchased under this framework will be sourced exclusively through a Direct Award process whereby the individual and their families select the preferred supplier directly.
