Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured day opportunities services for people aged over 65 with assessed care needs under the Care Act. The service is intended to promote healthy lifestyles, reduce isolation, stimulate interest, help people regain skills and increase independence, while providing respite for carers. This is a health and social care service delivered in Barnsley. The procurement was arranged as a single service requirement and was awarded to TIER Care, a supplier based in Barnsley. It would suit organisations providing structured day care, wellbeing and social activities for older people, with the ability to support assessed care needs and work alongside carers and local authority social care services.

The procurement is complete and was conducted through a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. The stated rationale was a direct award to TIER Care under Section 22.10(c), with reference to Regulation 72 and a specific clause. The award was made on 31 March 2023 and the contract is active. The contract record gives a value of £217,088.37; an amendment states that the total value of the contract or lot was changed to £233,115.68. The award was made to TIER Care for the day opportunities service. One bid was recorded. The requirement was evaluated on quality and price, and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This award indicates established local authority demand for day opportunities supporting older people with assessed care needs, rather than a general leisure or community activity service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience delivering safe, regular day care and purposeful activities for people over 65, while promoting independence and reducing social isolation. It would also need to understand Care Act assessment and support arrangements, provide appropriate respite for unpaid carers, and demonstrate reliable safeguarding, staffing and service management. Local knowledge of Barnsley and the ability to work with the council’s adult social care teams, families and carers would strengthen its position. Providers should be able to evidence quality as well as offer competitive pricing.
