Tender description

Suffolk County Council have negotiated exclusive access to a 2-bedroom bungalow that had previously been unavailable to disabled children and young people within our remit in order to meet sufficiency for two disabled children with significant medical health needs. The property has been modified in such a way that it is able to accommodate children with complex medical needs, including those who are wheelchair users. The council now has a requirement to place two young people in this home, due to the specialist equipment and skills/expertise needed to meet their medical requirements and the need to place them together as siblings. Our research has concluded that there are no other suitable providers in the local area that can fully meet the needs of these two young people. Therefore, the council intends to award a contract directly to Achieving Aspirations Community Interest Company (CIC) for this service. Lot 1: As detailed at section II.1.4) Short description

About the buyer

Suffolk County Council is a local authority procuring under the Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers find and bid for its opportunities through Suffolk Sourcing, a portal it has shared with Suffolk's district and borough councils since 2010. Many contracts are let through frameworks, pre-approved supplier lists awarded competitively or, where permitted, by direct award. Dynamic purchasing systems cover Adult and Community Learning and Passenger Transport Services, open to new suppliers at any time. From April 2026, suppliers awarded below-threshold contracts must register on the Central Digital Platform. Suppliers are also expected to add value to the local economy, the Suffolk pound.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Suffolk County Council's contract awards have been in transport services, education and training and health and social work.
