Overview
City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council wishes to inform and engage providers who have experience of delivering support to carers of its plans to commission a service which provides alternatives to traditional respite, in advance of a tender process this autumn. Market shaping opportunity (August 2026) As part of the service development process, we would like to invite potential providers to meet with us during August to help shape the service specification and delivery model, provide feedback on the proposed service model, and discuss how they may approach the delivery of this service.
Informal discussions will be held on a one-to-one basis with members of the Commissioning Team. Market Engagement Event (September 2026) Following the individual engagement meetings, the Council will hold an online market engagement event via Microsoft Teams on 10th September from 13.30 to 14.30.
To request the Teams meeting link, please email CommissioningInbox@bradford.gov.uk. If you have any questions you can send them in advance to this address. All information presented and discussed at this event will be captured and published on YorTender for any providers who are unable to attend.
