Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council has completed the procurement process titled "65+ years," which falls under the industry category of social work and related services (CPV code: 85300000). This public procurement aimed to secure services for the elderly in the region of Milton Keynes (UKG13). The process followed an open procedure under GPA regulations, with the award announced on 17 February 2025. The contract was awarded to Care MK, with a signing date for the contract on the same day. The tender included a single lot, evaluated on both quality (60%) and price (40%) criteria. Although the lot's status was eventually cancelled, 13 bids were received during the tender process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and elderly care services. The completion of such a procurement process highlights the demand for quality care services, which could be a substantial growth area for businesses in this sector. Companies with strong quality attributes, client review standards, and competitive pricing would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. Particular benefits exist for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Care MK, which successfully secured the contract, as they demonstrate the capability to meet the council's requirements effectively.
