Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "Extra Care and Care at Home Principal Providers" was initiated by Cheshire West and Chester Council, a public authority operating within the sub-central government sector. The contracting process, identified by the tender ID DN773583, followed an open procedure method. This initiative falls under the industry category of health and social work services, with services to be delivered within the UKD63 region. The procurement process progressed to the award stage, concluding with the signing of contracts on 24th March 2026, and is set to run from 5th May 2026 until 4th May 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031. The contract is valued at £18,000,000 and involves service delivery in extra care and community settings, segmented geographically.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for enterprises focused on health and social care services. Businesses involved in care provision could see significant growth by participating in this contract, especially those capable of delivering flexible service volumes under demand-based conditions. The procurement is suited to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide value for money and demonstrate effective contract performance, as decision-making on extensions relies on these criteria. With services being awarded in lots that allow for geographical specialization, companies with regional expertise in the UKD63 area particularly stand to benefit from engaging in this procurement process.
