Summary of the contracting process

St Helens Council is conducting an open tender, seeking to establish a Framework of Approved Suppliers for the Provision of Domiciliary Care Services. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a contract period set to commence on 1st December 2016 and extend for an initial 30 months, potentially followed by two 12-month extensions. The estimated contract value is £400,000, and services will be delivered primarily in the North West of England, focusing on vulnerable populations, including older individuals and adults with disabilities.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for care service providers, particularly those with experience in domiciliary care. Businesses equipped with electronic call monitoring systems may benefit from being classified as Tier 1 suppliers. Eligible candidates should have a reliable track record in delivering quality care services and should operate from locations either within St Helens or neighbouring local authorities. The competitive nature of the tender, which will involve mini-competitions among approved providers, will favour businesses that can demonstrate compliance with the Council's service specifications and quality standards.
