UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council is planning an eight-year Thriving in Care Homes framework for adult social care providers in North Yorkshire. The services will cover residential nursing and social care for people with a range of needs. Lot 1 is divided into Standard Care for stable needs, Enhanced Care for more complex or fluctuating needs, and Frailty and Dementia for highly complex or specialist needs requiring intensive intervention. Lot 2 is for specialist support for people with profound and multiple disabilities, including people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health or physical disabilities, sensory impairments, and acquired brain injury. The framework is classified as health and social work services and residential nursing care services.

This procurement is at the planning stage and the council is seeking supplier information to shape the scope and future tender specification; it is not yet an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is an open framework with no limit on the number of appointed suppliers. The framework is expected to run from 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2035. The council has scheduled market engagement to 9 September 2026 and expects to publish the next notice on 5 January 2027. The value currently recorded is £0 in GBP because demand is expected to determine usage; the maximum framework value is expected to be confirmed in the future tender notice. The procurement is above threshold and follows the light-touch regime.

This will suit care home operators, residential nursing providers and specialist adult social care organisations preparing to participate when the framework reaches the market. Relevant capability includes delivering planned care for stable needs, responsive care for complex or changing needs, and intensive support for frailty and dementia. Specialist providers supporting people with profound and multiple disabilities may fit Lot 2, particularly those experienced in learning disabilities, autism, mental health, physical disabilities, sensory impairments or acquired brain injury. The council has indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable participants. Providers should use the planning and engagement period to assess which care tiers match their expertise, staffing and service model.
