In plain English

Portsmouth City Council is building an open marketplace of day service providers for adults with learning disabilities. Providers offer activities, training, and support to help clients build skills, stay healthy, and connect with their communities. The council spends about £6.1m per year on these services and wants multiple providers (small and large) to join an 8-year agreement.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver day opportunity services for adults with learning disabilities, focused on health, independence, community engagement, and employment outcomes • Provide meaningful activities, skill-building, and support in the Portsmouth area and surrounding regions • Work towards specific outcome areas: health improvement, independence, community involvement, and employment support

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Most small businesses without prior learning disability service delivery experience will struggle to compete, though the council explicitly welcomes micro-providers and SMEs, the real barrier is likely proving you can deliver safe, outcomes-focused services and meet compliance requirements.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
