Summary of the contracting process

The City of Wolverhampton Council is planning a procurement process titled "Residential/Nursing/Pathway 3 services Framework", aimed at enhancing care for adults aged 65 and over within the region classified as UKG39 in the United Kingdom. This public procurement, currently in the planning stage as of 23 May 2025, falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services. It is facilitated through a flexible framework that includes Care Quality Commission (CQC)-registered care homes offering 24-hour residential and nursing services, particularly targeting residents with physical, sensory, and cognitive needs. Key dates include an anticipated future notice on 5 January 2026, with the contract period planned from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2033, indicating a long-term opportunity for suitable service providers. The main procurement method will involve a framework agreement with an emphasis on the light-touch regime.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth among service providers specializing in elderly care, particularly those adept at delivering person-centred care solutions. Businesses qualifying as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this framework especially conducive to their participation. With the City of Wolverhampton Council's ambition to improve outcomes for the elderly, companies experienced in providing comprehensive residential care services for older adults, including those requiring specialised dementia and EMI care, are well-positioned to compete effectively in this upcoming tender.
