Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring a single provider to deliver person-centred care, support, wellbeing and emergency response services across two extra-care housing schemes: Fitzwilliam Court in Hoyland and Westmeads in Royston. The service will support residents aged 55 and over to remain independent, maintain their health and wellbeing, and live in their own homes for as long as possible. The scope includes planned care and support, wellbeing activities, safeguarding, risk management and emergency response, with coordinated working alongside residents, families, carers, housing providers, health services and social care partners. This is a health and social care services opportunity, covering both schemes under one provision rather than separate contracts. The requirement is outcomes-focused and includes partnership working to deliver consistent, high-quality support to residents.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited all interested suppliers to submit a full tender response through a single-stage open procedure under the Light Touch Regime. The enquiry deadline is 2 October 2026 at 12 noon, and the amended tender submission deadline is 9 October 2026 at 12 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with options for two further 12-month extensions, giving a possible end date of 31 March 2032. The estimated total value is £4,104,656.95 including applicable taxes. There is one lot covering both schemes. Evaluation is weighted 65% quality, 30% price and 5% social value, with the award decision due by 23 November 2026.

This opportunity suits care and support providers able to operate across two extra-care housing schemes and deliver coordinated services for older residents. Strong applicants will need practical capability in person-centred care, planned support, wellbeing provision and emergency response, alongside effective safeguarding and risk-management arrangements. The service requires providers to work collaboratively with residents, families, carers and organisations across housing, health and social care, so partnership working and outcome-focused service management are important. Suppliers should be able to maintain reliable provision across both locations and support residents to retain independence in their own homes. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to established local providers, specialist social-care organisations and larger operators with appropriate delivery capacity.
