Stockport Day Opportunities

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 5 Oct 2026, 08:57.

Opportunity overview

The revised Day Opportunities Framework in Stockport went live in April 2025 with the intention of offering a diverse range of provision aligned with the Care Act 2014. The ambition was to ensure that services were flexible, meaningful, enjoyable and genuinely person-centred in both design and delivery. However, uptake during the initial launch did not achieve the level of diversification expected. Provision has continued to focus predominantly on traditional building-based services. While these services remain valued and needed, Stockport Council aims to build on this foundation by also expanding into community-based and innovative models that further support residents to live "a gloriously ordinary life." Before reopening the framework to additional providers, the Council proposes undertaking soft market testing-outlined below-to understand the level of interest and capacity among providers who share Stockport's vision for diverse, flexible and person-centred Day Opportunities.
