The Specialist Care Framework (Release 2)
Authority: Borough of Telford & Wrekin (Local council)
What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionTelford & Wrekin Council are looking to receive applications from Providers to join a multi-provider Framework to deliver specialist care services for Adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism, Mental Health and Acquired Brain Injury needs, in suitable locations.
We want to work with established, experienced providers who deliver a curious, compassionate and solution focused approach central to delivering a person-centred service.
The services we intend to commission are intended for adults, but it is expected that providers, where appropriate have the correct registration to support young adults during transition and working in line with the Preparing for Adulthood (PfA) principles and support delivery of outcomes around employment and training, friendships, relationships and communities, independent living and good health.
The services will be split into 4 Lots covering increasing levels of need and complexity.
- The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 12 Jan 2027, 23:59 GMT.
- No preliminary market engagement: Market Engagement has been carried out UK3 published 17/09/2025 As we are establishing a framework, further market engagement for release 2 is not necessary
CPV: Health and social work services
