Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Norfolk County Council, a public authority within the sub-central government of the United Kingdom. The tender, titled "Home Care Delivery in Fens and Brecks PCN S511511," falls under the industry category of social work services without accommodation. It was held in Norwich but has implications in the region of UKH16, encompassing areas like King's Lynn. The process reached the award stage and was completed, having initially begun with a contract period from 7th July 2025 to 6th July 2026. The procurement method was below the threshold and thus did not require a formal competitive tendering process according to standard UK procurement laws. Importantly, this was a light touch regime, reflecting the specialised nature of the social services involved.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in providing social care services. With a contract value of approximately £485,082, it offers substantial growth potential, particularly for large-scale service providers like The Care Company UK Limited, which successfully secured the contract. Companies looking to expand their presence in the public sector, especially those offering home care services, can leverage these opportunities to establish or strengthen their foothold in the regional market. The procurement under light touch regulations further encourages participation from in-region suppliers equipped to handle specific service requirements without the burden of stringent competitive bidding procedures, fostering a mutually beneficial environment for service providers and public authorities alike.
