Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council initiated a procurement process for General Residential Care Services, classified under the social work and related services category (CPV: 85300000). The procurement aimed to establish a framework to support care for vulnerable residents according to the Care Act 2014. This open procedure, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, was scheduled to commence on 2nd June 2025 after the tender period, which ended on 1st May 2025 due to an amendment. The procurement process, initially intended to award contracts, was unfortunately discontinued, with the status marked as cancelled as of June 2025. The initial budget earmarked for this service was £112,209,555.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for organizations specializing in social care services, particularly those providing comprehensive residential care services. Businesses equipped to deliver high-quality service in areas like physical disabilities, dementia care, or end-of-life support would have been ideal candidates. Although the contract was ultimately discontinued, similar future opportunities could facilitate growth for businesses ready to offer innovative care solutions and integrate seamlessly with local authority frameworks. Companies invested in enhancing residential care standards and aligning with the statutory care frameworks might find forthcoming proposals attractive for expanding their service offerings.
