Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northamptonshire County Council is seeking tenders for the provision of Tier 2 Home Care Services, with a focus on supporting Lead Providers across fifteen geographical zones in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This open procurement process is in the tender stage, with submissions due by 4th June 2019. The framework contract, valued at £180 million, is expected to span three years starting from 5th June 2019, with an optional extension of 24 months. The framework replaces the existing Dynamic Purchasing System and is designed to cover the remaining 20-30% of home care services not managed by current lead providers.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in health and social work services. Businesses that can offer personalised and compassionate care services, and those with the capability to collaborate with Lead Providers, will be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging in this framework allows providers to contribute to the delivery of vital home care services while also expanding their networks and market reach in the public sector.
