04Supported living contracts: common questions
How many supported living tenders are live in Wales?
6 right now, from 5 public buyers, with 3 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in supported living contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win supported living contracts?
Often, yes. 6 of the 6 live tenders in Wales are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Care
Care contracts are usually let through frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems run by councils, so joining the right list matters as much as any single tender. Buyers will expect CQC registration and a good rating, safeguarding policies, and evidence you can recruit and keep staff.
