Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council commissioned an open framework for care and support services for people living in the borough. The requirement covers residential care, residential dementia care, general nursing care, nursing dementia care, short-term provision and innovation. Its purpose is to provide flexible, adaptive and transformative support that enables people to age and live well in their community. The main category is health and social care services (CPV 85000000). Services are delivered in the Rochdale area, within the borough’s adult social care market. The framework is arranged into separate service lots, allowing care homes, nursing providers and other specialist care organisations to participate according to the provision they can deliver.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 under an accelerated open procedure for a light-touch service contract. An open framework using reopening of competition was established. Six valid bids were received for Lots 1, 2 and 6. The award covers Residential Care, Residential Dementia Care and Innovation, and was made to GP Care Services Limited, Stansfield Hall Care Home Ltd and Your Care Matters Group Ltd. The awarded value is £384,000,000 gross including tax. The award contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2031, with a two-year extension available to 31 March 2033. Each lot was evaluated using quality questions assessed on a pass/fail basis and was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Rochdale Borough Council for regulated care provision delivered by local or regional operators. The selected supplier group shows that care homes, nursing and domiciliary or community-care organisations can compete within the framework, including SMEs and a voluntary, community or social enterprise. A credible future participant would need the operational capacity to provide safe residential or nursing care, including dementia support where relevant, and to adapt services to individual needs and changing commissioning requirements. Providers interested in the innovation element would need evidence of practical approaches that improve care and support while helping people live well in their community. Clear, consistent evidence against pass/fail quality questions would be central to qualification.
