Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has announced a planned tender for comprehensive homecare services throughout Leeds, intending to provide high-quality, person-centred care. This City-wide service will cater to various community support needs such as homecare, sitting services, and linking individuals to community activities to mitigate isolation. The tender, scheduled to enter the market around April 2027, aims to commence contracts by 1st April 2028. The procurement falls under 'social work services without accommodation' in the industry category, following a light-touch regime procedure and is valued at £400 million. Interested parties are encouraged to participate in market engagements leading up to the tender, with an initial consultation event set for 7th August 2025.

This sizable procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses within the care sector, particularly those with a presence in Leeds or the Yorkshire and Humber region. It is well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs capable of delivering flexible, person-centred community services with the potential to collaborate with health providers. Businesses engaging in this tender could see expanded service offerings and client bases, as the Council plans to integrate health tasks and community liaison as part of the support framework. Participation in this tender presents an excellent growth avenue for providers looking to enhance their market presence within Leeds' dynamic community health service landscape.
