Summary of the contracting process

Blackpool Council has completed the procurement process for the "Person Centred Home Care (Ancillary Provision)" contract, focusing on the health and social work services sector. This procurement aims to commission quality person-centred home care services for adults, including older adults, those with physical disabilities, and people with mental health needs in the Blackpool area. The Council seeks to supplement its existing contracted providers by awarding contracts to a maximum of three additional ancillary providers. Briars Homecare Services Ltd, Dignity in Life Ltd, and SPRING FOUNTAIN (PRIVATE) LIMITED have been awarded active contracts as of 5 August 2024. The contracts, operating under a Light Touch Regime, will commence from 1 April 2024 with the potential to extend annually for four years, subject to demand, contract review, and budget availability.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing home care services to expand their operations within the Blackpool area. Companies with expertise in flexible, high-quality home care tailored to diverse needs will be well-positioned to compete successfully. The Council is looking for providers capable of managing variable workloads on a spot purchase basis and meeting the stringent quality requirements set forth for ethical home care. As Blackpool Council sets and reviews home care fees annually, businesses ready to adapt to these conditions stand to benefit from a stable and potentially long-term partnership.
