Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured residential and nursing care for older people through a framework agreement. The stated purpose was to help care providers adopt the National Living Wage increase early and raise fees to address recruitment and retention pressures over the coming winter. The work concerns the provision of care to older people, rather than construction or goods supply, and delivery is associated with the United Kingdom. The procurement sits within health and social care services. The arrangement builds on a framework agreement between the council and providers dated 23 September 2015, which the council cited as the basis for this fee uplift. It is relevant to residential care homes and nursing care providers serving older people, particularly those able to deliver care in the council’s area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded using a limited procedure without a prior competition, on the basis of price. One lot was listed, but its status is recorded as cancelled; award information also records multiple active suppliers, so the outcome is presented inconsistently. The award entries name 30 providers, including Autumn House Nursing Home, Bestcare UK, Burlington Care, Crossroad Group, Crown Care Holdings, Dignity Residential, Panaceon Healthcare, St Philips Care Caledonia and Orchard Views Residential Care Home. Contract records list £214,166.66 for each recorded contract; these figures are separate and have not been combined. Award-related amendment text gives contract conclusion dates of 28 October 2025, 23 January 2026 and 2 October 2026 for named providers. The contract records give signing dates from 24 November 2021 to 24 November 2022. No overall contract period is stated.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Barnsley Council for residential and nursing care for older people, with additional funding intended to help providers meet increased wage costs and address recruitment and retention. The recorded provider base includes care homes and care groups, many identified as small or medium-sized businesses, indicating that the requirement has been served by a range of provider sizes rather than a single large operator. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need an established care service for older people, the operational capacity to provide residential or nursing care, and the ability to manage staffing and fee pressures. Price was the stated award basis, so suppliers would need to offer competitive pricing alongside the practical capability to deliver the required care. The historic framework arrangement indicates that the council has used a framework route for this requirement.
