Notice Title
BHCC - NK - Care Homes within Brighton and Hove - (Round 6) April 2026
Notice Description
The Council was seeking to award contracts within the boundaries of Brighton and Hove for the provision of Care Home beds on a spot purchase basis. Out of city care homes are contracted via an alternative route. Bidders who passed the qualifying criteria were awarded a contract. Individual placements will be made on a spot purchase basis throughout the life of the contract. The Council guarantees no set volume of placements under this contract and reserves the right to contract for comparable provision through other means. Individual placements will be made via a brokerage process, where individual outcomes and costs are agreed between the Council and the Supplier. The Council reserves the right to reopen this tender process at a later date to award additional contracts for the same provision. Please note values are based on estimates and will vary based on referrals throughout the life of the contracts.
