Day Services & Day Opportunities Tenders

Day services give adults and young people meaningful things to do during the day, from building-based day centres to community activities, skills development and routes into volunteering or employment. Many councils now commission "day opportunities" rather than traditional day centres, favouring flexible, person-centred support for people with learning disabilities, autism, dementia or mental health needs. These contracts are often let through DPS arrangements with regular entry points, so new providers can join throughout the year. Tenders typically assess your approach to outcomes, community links, safeguarding and how you'll support people towards greater independence. Browse the open day services opportunities below.
