Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council, in collaboration with Derbyshire County Council, is in the planning stage for procuring specialist homes through a tender titled "Soft Market Testing - D2 & NHS ICB Specialist Homes Provision." This tender is geared towards the health and social work services industry, with specific classifications under CPV codes 85000000 and 98000000. The project focuses on the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. A key milestone is the engagement end date, set for 31st January 2025, by which responses to the market engagement notice are expected. The process involves potential providers offering insights on the feasibility of delivering two 2-bed specialist homes aimed at supporting children and young people with challenging behaviour and complex mental health needs. The procurement is being facilitated under the guidance of Catherine Young of Derby City Council.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that provide therapeutic support and have experience in managing children's homes, particularly those specialising in mental health care. Providers will benefit from the strategic partnership with local authorities and the Integrated Care Board, which could lead to stable, long-term contracts. The procurement is ideally suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can purchase or lease residential properties and deliver high-quality, integrated care services. Engaging in this process allows businesses to expand their footprint in the public sector and contribute positively to community welfare by enhancing services for vulnerable children and young people.
