Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured residential and nursing care for older people through a framework agreement. The stated purpose was to support an early increase in care fees in response to the National Living Wage rise and winter recruitment and retention pressures facing care providers. The work concerns the provision of older people’s care in Barnsley and the surrounding South Yorkshire area. This is a social care services requirement, covering both residential care and nursing care rather than the supply of equipment or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to multiple care providers. The award date was 24 June 2022. The reported award value is £214,166.66. The contract period ran from 29 November 2021 to 31 March 2022. The notice gives an other/other procedure description and records the tender as complete; it does not describe an evaluation basis or split the award value between providers. The named awardees include Autumn House Nursing Home, Bestcare UK, Burlington Care, Dignity Residential (Yorkshire), Anchor Hanover Group, Trust Care and numerous other residential and nursing care providers. The original tender deadline was 12 July 2023, later than the stated contract period.

This award shows that Barnsley Council purchased older people’s residential and nursing care and appointed a broad group of providers, including care homes and larger care organisations. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to operate care provision suited to older people and be able to deliver residential care, nursing care, or both, in the Barnsley area. The stated rationale points to workforce pressures and the ability to respond to changes in care costs as relevant operating considerations. The supplier list includes both local care homes and organisations based elsewhere, indicating that the selected providers were not limited to organisations headquartered in Barnsley. The procurement records SME and voluntary-sector suitability, though the awardees include providers identified as large as well as a smaller provider.
