Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council has established a framework for bed-based intermediate care: short-term care in registered accommodation for people who need support after hospital or while their needs are assessed. Services must be able to support people with complex circumstances and specialist needs, including dementia, mental health needs, delirium, learning disabilities and autism; some people may be undergoing Continuing Healthcare assessment. The four geographical areas are Harrogate and Rural; Scarborough and Whitby; Hambleton and Richmondshire; and Vale of York, including Selby and Ryedale. The work is health and social care services (CPV 85000000) delivered in North Yorkshire. The framework arrangements provide for block-booked beds for the highest-ranked provider in each area, with further referrals allocated to other appointed providers.

The open procedure is complete and contracts have been signed. Humberside Independent Care Association Ltd and Highgate Care Services (Yorkshire) Ltd were appointed for Harrogate and Rural; Highgate Care Services (Yorkshire) Ltd for Scarborough and Whitby; and Scorton Care Ltd and Highgate Care Services Ltd for Hambleton and Richmondshire. No contract was awarded for Vale of York. Awards were made on 23 July 2026 and the contracts were signed on 30 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The framework’s revised maximum value is £7,875,000: £1,500,000 for Harrogate and Rural, £4,125,000 for Scarborough and Whitby and £2,250,000 for Hambleton and Richmondshire. Individual provider award values are reported as £0 because their breakdown is unknown. Evaluation weighted weekly rate at 30%; the remaining 70% covered the multidisciplinary team approach, care planning, rehabilitation and reablement, staff skills and experience, risk, business continuity and mobilisation.

This requirement suits care providers with CQC registration, at least a ‘Requires Improvement’ inspection rating and a registered property suitable for intermediate care within the area served. Credible suppliers need to demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach, robust care planning and a practical reablement and rehabilitation model, alongside staff with relevant skills and experience. They also need to show they can manage risk, maintain business continuity and mobilise the service effectively. The requirement spans care for people with complex needs, so providers must be equipped to support conditions including dementia, mental health needs, delirium, learning disabilities and autism. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, and SMEs submitted final-stage bids in two of the three awarded areas. Providers should be prepared to deliver both planned bed capacity and referrals allocated on an ad hoc basis.
