Tender description

WBC invites organisations to apply for admission to the Council’s Care and Support Open Framework. Admission to the Framework confirms a provider as pre qualified to compete for future call off opportunities but does not guarantee that services will be awarded. The Open Framework is intended to: • support a diverse, resilient and sustainable local care market • encourage high quality, person centred and inclusive practice • provide a transparent and proportionate route for providers to access opportunities with the Council • allow new providers to join at regular reopening points during the life of the Framework

About the buyer

Wokingham Borough Council is a local authority that runs its own procurement through the ProContract portal, hosted by Due North. Suppliers register a free account on ProContract to take part in any of the council's tenders. Notices also appear on Contracts Finder and, where the statutory thresholds apply, on Find a Tender under the Procurement Act 2023. The council's contracts register is published on the same portal. Apprenticeship training is bought through the Crown Commercial Service framework, and temporary agency staff through the Matrix portal. A Premier Supplier Scheme offers earlier payment in return for a rebate.

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 Wokingham Borough Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and business services.
