Dudley MBC is inviting applications from qualified suppliers to be admitted to an Open Framework to provide Supported living Services. Supported living is to provide vulnerable people the opportunity to live independently in a home-like environment rather than in a residential care home. The purpose of the service is to offer tailored support, including help with daily tasks like managing finances or maintaining a home, enabling individuals to lead more fulfilling lives and achieve personal goals. The scope of this service will cover the following cohorts of Dudley residents. Primarily people aged 18-64 including people over 65. It will also include a range of disabilities. • Learning Disability & Autism • Mental Health • Physical Disability • Adults at Risk which may include forensic and crisis support. The framework will consist of 2 separate Lots.: • Lot 1 - Long-term care and support Lot 1 will respond to the needs of people requiring long-term care and support. • Lot 2 - Short-term intensive intervention support Lot 2 will respond to people who present with forensic / very challenging complex behaviour requiring specialist support from highly skilled and trained providers and/or where people present in short-term crisis. The Council reserves the right to use the powers available to it under Section 21 of the Procurement Act 2023 and Schedule 8, paragraph 1(a) of the Procurement Act 2023. This includes the Council’s ability under Section 21 PA23 to issue tender notices and associated tender documents as required for the lawful conduct of the procurement process, as well as its ability under Schedule 8, paragraph 1(a) PA23 to make permitted contract modifications without commencing a new procurement procedure, where such modifications meet the statutory conditions.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 10,922 | 1 median · 39.3 average (4,504 of 10,922 with a bid count) | 2 average (5,162 of 10,922 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 4 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKG36 | 17 | 1 median · 2.1 average (7 of 17 with a bid count) | 1 average (7 of 17 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 115 | 2 median · 2 average (1 of 115 with a bid count) | 1 average (1 of 115 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
£197,890,687 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £304,166,666.
This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.

"description": "Dudley MBC are inviting providers to hear about an upcoming tendering opportunity for a new Supported Living Framework.\nThe Supported Living Framework will provide specialist support for people 17 ¾ years old and above with social care needs and will include separate Lots.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nParticipation or non-participation in the pre-procurement market engagement process shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the pre-procurement process shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the pre-procurement market engagement procurement process will be at each supplier's own cost. No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the Council. This is not a call for competition.\nThe virtual provider engagement session will be held via MS Teams between 10am - 11.30m on 24 September 2025 to provide further information about this tender opportunity.\nTo ensure you receive a link to this event, please confirm attendance by noon on Friday 19 September 2025, by emailing CICommissioning@dudley.gov.uk, by quoting in the subject header 'Dudley Provider Supported Living Market Engagement Event'.
