This framework aims to provide comprehensive social care services, including intermediate homecare to facilitate hospital discharge and prevent admissions, alongside End of Life Care and S117 homecare. Currently in the planning stage, with a planned procurement notice published on 18th May 2026, the contract period is set to begin on 1st October 2027, extending until 30th September 2032, with provisions for renewal.

Such businesses providing innovative solutions in homecare services can leverage this tender to expand their offerings in the region, contribute to critical public services, and potentially secure a prosperous long-term partnership with the council.
