Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council is conducting a procurement process to establish the "Services In Your Home Partnership," aimed at providing home care services under a new framework. The council operates within the sub-central government sector and is hosting a series of Market Engagement events, both in-person and online, scheduled between the 8th and 11th of June 2026. These events are essential for businesses interested in competing for this tender, with registration closing on the 4th of June 2026. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the industry category focused on health and social work services under CPV codes 85000000 and 98000000. This initiative is set to benefit residents in Herefordshire, located in region UKG11, enabling them to receive care while remaining independent in their homes.

The upcoming framework presents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services. Providers who deliver enabling home care fulfilling assessed needs will be perfectly placed to benefit, particularly SMEs, as the framework is designed with suitability for small and medium enterprises. Given its above-threshold status and alignment with the Care Act 2014, businesses that possess the capacity to meet statutory care requirements whilst innovating within light-touch regimes can expand their market presence significantly. The contract period is planned to commence in April 2027 and conclude in March 2033, offering a long-term partnership opportunity for service providers committed to enhancing home care provisions in Herefordshire.
