Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council has concluded the procurement process for an Open Framework for the Provision of Homecare Services focusing on health and social care services, specifically personal care tasks provided in people's homes on a continuous 24/7 basis for those aged 18 and over. The procurement used an open procedure and the framework agreement will initially run for 48 months starting 1st April 2024, with potential for two 12-month extensions, ending on 31st March 2030 if extensions are utilised. The framework covers multiple regions in England, including the North East, North West, and South East, among others. Key dates include the tender period ending on 11th January 2024 and subsequent rounds through to May 2029. The estimated total value of the contract ranges from £128.144 million to £213.038 million, excluding VAT, depending on whether the extensions are applied.

This tender provides an excellent growth opportunity for businesses in the homecare services sector, especially SMEs and VCSEs, by engaging in the public sector's substantial and ongoing need for regulated personal care services. With Cumberland Council and potentially the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board leveraging this framework, businesses can extend their market reach, secure long-term contracts, and stabilise revenue growth. Organisations providing standard and bespoke homecare services are likely well-suited to compete, making this an attractive option for diverse homecare providers aiming to expand their footprint across various English regions.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Open Framework for the Provision of Homecare Services

Notice Description

Cumberland Council is advertising an Open Framework for providers to deliver Homecare Services, for the delivery of personal care tasks in people's own homes on a 24/7 basis for people over 18. These services are regulated by the Care Quality Commission under The Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014, on a 24/7 basis for people over 18. There are two lots - Lot 1 - Standard Homecare Services / Lot 2 - Bespoke / Non Standard Homecare Services. \r \r The Council proposes to enter in to the Framework Agreement for an initial period of 48 months with the successful providers. There are TWO optional extensions available of up to 12 months each. The maximum length of the Framework Agreement, including the optional extensions is 72 months. These optional extensions are at the complete discretion of the Council. The end date of 31st March 2030 includes the two optional extensions. If these extensions are not used, the Framework will end on 31st March 2028. \r \r In addition to Cumberland Council (the contracting authority), the NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (the ICB) is a potential user of this Framework and they may purchase homecare services, subject to the ICB signing a Framework Access Agreement. \r \r The estimated total value of the Framework for the 4-year initial term is PS128.144m excluding VAT. The estimated total value for the initial term plus the two 12 months optional extensions is PS213.038m excluding VAT. These estimated totals are based upon the maximum spend by Cumberland Council and the ICB accessing the Framework from Day 1. The Cumberland Council potential spend on Homecare Services over the full 6-year term is estimated to be PS133.882m. Details of current expenditure are indicative only. The Council does not guarantee any spend against this Framework Agreement. \r \r You must be registered on The Chest (https://www.the-chest.org.uk/) to access the tender documents.
