Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council, a public authority in England, has awarded a contract titled "Person Centred Home Care (Ancillary Provision)" under the Health and Social Work Services category. The tender aimed to procure quality, flexible home care services across the Blackpool area, specifically targeting adults, including older adults, those with physical disabilities, and individuals with mental health needs. The procurement process, conducted through an open procedure, commenced with the tender period ending on 19 January 2024. The awarded contract is set to run from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, with possible annual extensions for up to four more years based on demand and budget availability. The total contract value is £663,540, and the procurement adheres to the Light Touch Regime under PCR 2015.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and social work sectors. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete due to their flexibility and capacity to deliver person-centred home care. The contract does not guarantee a specific volume of work, offering packages on a spot purchase basis, which could encourage specialised providers to tailor their services as per the Council's evolving needs. Additionally, the ethical focus and annual review of home care fees by Blackpool Council ensure a sustainable partnership for prospective providers.
