Help Improve the UK Adult Social Care Tender Pipeline — Share Updates & Corrections
Share
The UK Adult Social Care Tender Pipeline (2026–2029) has already become one of the most visited resources on Impact Guru — with thousands of views in its first week. Providers, commissioners and sector partners are using it to understand upcoming supported living, home care, supported employment and shared lives opportunities across the country.
As commissioning cycles shorten and procurement models diversify, the need for clear, accessible, forward-looking intelligence has never been greater. Many councils and ICBs publish tender notices months or years apart, and information can be scattered across portals, market-position statements, decision papers and annual plans.
This pipeline brings everything together in one place — but its real strength is that it will keep improving every month.
🔍 Why Community Feedback Matters
Commissioning plans move quickly. Frameworks get extended, delayed or replaced. DPS lots are added. Service scopes change. Sometimes new tender plans are published quietly, without broad sector communication.
Because of this, no single dataset is ever perfect. The most accurate pipelines are those informed by people closest to the work — commissioners, providers, bid teams and programme leads who see changes in real time.
To support this, the pipeline now includes a quick, anonymous “Pipeline Update Feedback” form that appears at the top of the page and at the end of each regional section.
You can now suggest corrections or additions in under 10 seconds — no log-in, no email required.
🛠 What You Can Submit
The new feedback form is designed for fast, practical updates from anyone across the sector. You can submit:
- New tender plans not yet shown in the pipeline
- Date changes for frameworks, DPS renewals or extensions
- Service scope updates (e.g. new lots, combined contracts)
- Confirmed extensions announced locally but not widely shared
- Corrections to regional coverage or commissioning responsibility
You can stay completely anonymous — or leave an email if you’d like a reply.
🚀 Why This Helps the Sector
A more accurate, community-informed pipeline supports:
- Providers planning growth, mobilisation and bid-readiness
- Councils and ICBs aiming for transparent, confident market engagement
- Housing partners aligning development with commissioning cycles
- Bid teams preparing evidence, partnerships and capacity ahead of time
The clearer the national picture, the easier it is for the whole market to prepare — reducing rushed bids, increasing mobilisation success, and strengthening provider markets.
