Summary of the contracting process

Cambridgeshire County Council is preparing to procure the upcoming Homecare framework, anticipated to move to the tender stage in early July 2026. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the framework aiming to enhance social inclusion and support individuals to live independently across various zones in Cambridgeshire. This procurement falls under the Health and social work services category and will be delivered locally within the UKH12 region of the United Kingdom. Potential providers are encouraged to participate in planned engagement sessions to further understand the requirements and refine their proposals. Interested parties should note the expression of interest deadline is set for 10th August 2026, with contract awards expected by February 2027.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in homecare services to expand their operations within Cambridgeshire. With a focus on a strengths-based model, the framework aims to work with a select number of providers in each of the 15 zones. Suitable candidates will include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), particularly those holding a "Good" or above Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating and possessing local operations or presence in or near Cambridgeshire. This procurement method is selective, encouraging competitive and innovative service delivery tailored to diverse client needs, including elderly care and support for individuals with learning disabilities and mental health challenges. Successful bidders will contribute to a sustainable homecare ecosystem, with contracts extending from 2027 to 2037.
