Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames is procuring an Innovative Platform for Home Based Services, covering health and social care delivered in people’s homes. The platform will provide domiciliary care, homecare reablement and live-in care services. It is intended for use in Richmond upon Thames and, through a partnership arrangement, Wandsworth. Wandsworth Borough Council is a named authority and may use the platform for contingency planning alongside its other contractual arrangements. The opportunity is divided into six service and location lots: domiciliary care, reablement services and live-in care services in Richmond, plus the equivalent three services in Wandsworth. This is a services procurement for health and social work provision.

The process has reached tender: the authorities invited offers through an open procedure under the Light Touch Regime. Bids are submitted electronically in English. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 29 June 2032 at 12:00 BST. The platform commenced on 30 January 2023 and is intended to run for an initial period of 10 years. The six lots are individually described for Richmond and Wandsworth, covering domiciliary care, reablement and live-in care. The procurement uses the published Prior Information Notice as a call for competition. It is being conducted by Richmond upon Thames, with Wandsworth included as a named authority. The tender concerns health and social work services.

This opportunity suits experienced and suitably qualified homecare providers able to deliver regulated care in service users’ homes. Relevant capability includes arranging and managing domiciliary care, supporting people through homecare reablement and providing live-in care. Suppliers should be able to operate in Richmond upon Thames, Wandsworth, or both, depending on the lots pursued, and have the workforce, supervision and operational systems needed to deliver reliable services across those boroughs. The platform’s contingency-planning role means providers should also be able to support an authority’s wider resilience arrangements when required. It is relevant to established care organisations with sufficient capacity to provide ongoing services across one or more of the six service and location combinations.
