Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured day care opportunities for people aged over 65 with assessed care needs under the Care Act. The service is intended to promote healthy lifestyles, reduce isolation, stimulate interest, help people regain skills and increase independence, while also providing respite for carers. This is a health and social care service, covering delivery in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the requirement associated with Barnsley and South Yorkshire. The opportunity is relevant to organisations providing adult day services, care support, wellbeing activities, rehabilitation or carer respite. It may also suit voluntary, community and social enterprises that can support older people with assessed care needs in a structured day opportunity setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to TIER Care. The award date was 31 March 2023 and the awarded value was £217,088.37 including the stated GBP currency. The procurement’s estimated value was £217,088. The awarded contract period runs from 1 April 2023 to 31 October 2026. Separately, the tender record gives a service period from 1 July 2025 to 2 July 2025, with submissions due by 30 June 2025 at 12:00. The main category was services, classified as health and social work services. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is the buying organisation. TIER Care was the selected supplier, and the contracting process has no further tender stage to complete.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates a defined local market for older-person day opportunities combining care, social inclusion, independence-building and carer respite. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the capacity to support people aged over 65 with assessed Care Act needs, deliver safe and engaging daytime activities, reduce isolation and encourage healthy lifestyles. It would also need staff and operating arrangements able to help service users regain or maintain practical skills, while providing reliable support for carers. The buyer’s stated suitability indicates that both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises can be appropriate suppliers. Relevant experience in adult social care, day services, community wellbeing or respite provision would strengthen a future response.
