Summary of the contracting process

Southend-on-Sea City Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process to secure providers for its Care at Home service, set to commence on 1st April 2025. This process aims to gather market feedback to inform the future service model and provision of home health care services within the city. The council has split the city into four localities: West, West Central, East Central, and East, and intends to award contracts in January 2025. Key dates include the engagement end date on 12th September 2024. The total estimated contract value is up to £14,000,000 per annum. The industry category for this tender is Health and Social Work Services (CPV code: 85000000) and the contracts are anticipated to be divided into three lots.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive homecare services, including support for individuals with learning disabilities and mental health needs. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly encouraged to participate, given their suitability profile marked as positive. Companies that can deliver high-quality live-in and shift care services are well-positioned to benefit. Southend-on-Sea City Council's strategic division of care services into localities allows for focused service delivery, making it an appealing venture for both established care providers and new entrants aiming to establish or expand their presence in the Southend-on-Sea area.
