Support Services Tenders and Contracts

See open support services tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Support services is a wide heading and buyers use it loosely. Here it runs from respite and community support for adults, through floating support attached to homelessness and supported housing, to mediation panels and in-hospital companion schemes. Councils and NHS bodies publish most of it, usually as an approved-provider framework rather than one contract.

Most of what is on record is already awarded, with only a small share open at any given moment.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about support services, respite services, floating support, mediation services, companion services in the UK public sector.

  • How do I find support services tenders in the UK?

    Search the portals for what is open now, or move earlier and follow the buyer before a notice appears. Stotles pulls support services notices from 100+ portals into one search, so a council recommissioning a respite contract and an NHS trust retendering a companion service turn up in the same list.

  • What counts as a support services contract?

    Wider than the phrase suggests. It covers respite and community support for adults, floating support tied to homelessness and supported housing, direct payment support, mediation panels and in-hospital companion schemes. A minority are equipment maintenance-and-support agreements that happen to use the same words, so filter before you read.

  • How many support services tenders are open right now?

    A small number at any one time, across every stage. A large share are already awarded. The more useful number for planning is the pre-tender pool: a pre-tender notice tells you a contract is coming before the tender itself opens, which is where the lead time is.

  • What CPV codes cover support services?

    No single code does. Notices lean on social work and related services, social work services without accommodation, and the broader health and social work services heading.

  • Do support services contracts go through frameworks?

    Often. Plenty of the notices here set up an approved-provider framework or a dynamic list rather than a single contract, so the win is getting onto the list and the work arrives later as call-offs. Check whether the notice in front of you is the framework or the call-off.
