Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire County Council is conducting a public procurement process to deliver assessed care packages at MacGregor Tithe in Tamworth, Chestnut Grange and Tyldesley Court in Burton upon Trent. This tender falls under the health and social work services category and is being executed using an open procedure. The procurement stage is currently in the tender phase, ending on 17th February 2026, with a subsequent award decision expected by 5th May 2026. The anticipated start date for the contract is 6th July 2026, extending until 5th July 2028, with a potential 12-month extension. The locations involved are within the UKG24 region, prominently Staffordshire, UK. Potential suppliers should refer to the tender reference IA3758 for more details and are encouraged to register on the Proactis system to participate.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, especially those with experience in delivering planned care packages. It presents a competitive chance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to enter into a partnership with a sub-central government entity, building long-term relations with local housing providers and possibly engaging in self-funded care packages. Given the light-touch regime applied and requirements for economic and technical viability, businesses well-versed in adapting to dynamic funding arrangements and possessing robust care delivery models are highly encouraged to apply, potentially broadening their market presence and expertise in providing specialised social services.

The Housing Providers of the Sites may fund the delivery of unplanned care and support at the Extra Care Sites with the supplier.

This service is not in the scope of this Agreement, but there is an expectation that if requested the supplier would enter into a separate agreement for any such service with the Housing Provider. Residents located at the Sites may approach the supplier to self-fund care packages, social support or housekeeping tasks. Self-funded care packages are not within the scope of this Agreement, but there is an expectation that if requested the supplier would enter into a separate agreement for any such service with Residents. The supplier must ensure that they develop and maintain a positive and constructive working relationship with the Housing Providers during the term of this Agreement. There will be one supplier who will deliver planned care and support at all 3 sites: MacGregor Tithe (Extra Care Scheme), Hospital Street, Tamworth, B79 7EF, Chestnut Grange (Extra Care Scheme), All Saints Road, Burton upon Trent, DE14 3HL and Tyldesley Court (Sheltered accommodation), High Street, Burton upon Trent, DE14 1LJ.

Planning Information

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to seek further input from potential suppliers building on previous PME obtained in August 2025 in relation to Staffordshire County Council's (SCC) need to procure planned care support services in current Extracare facilities in East Staffordshire and Tamworth. The purpose of this additional PME is to further explore the requirements and services to be commissioned as part of the proposed tender . The questions within this PME follow on from responses the Council received from the Provider market. The care delivery would be funded by SCC at the Council's predetermined hourly Extracare rate of £21.74. Currently SCC funded care hours within the schemes are 354 hours per week for the East Staffordshire scheme and 389 hours per week for the Tamworth scheme.
