Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited is seeking background support services for Orchid House, a care setting in Thirsk. The service is classified as welfare services for older people (CPV 85311100). The requirement concerns support delivered at the Orchid House location; the published delivery information identifies Yorkshire and the Humber. Suppliers would provide the background support needed for the service, rather than goods or construction work. The procurement is for a single lot, covering the stated service requirement. Thirteen Housing Group is the buyer. The contract is intended to support Orchid House over a defined initial term, with provision for extensions. The buyer describes the procurement as a service contract and invited suppliers to express interest to obtain the full tender documents and participate in the process.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the stated deadline for enquiries is not provided in the published details. The initial contract period runs from 28 January 2027 to 27 January 2029, with three optional 12-month extensions, potentially taking the term to 27 January 2032. The estimated value is £1,373,000. The buyer planned to make its award decision by 14 December 2026. Evaluation is weighted 60% for quality and 40% for price; the quality element comprises social value at 10% and quality questions at 50%. The contract’s stated payment term is 30 days. One lot covers the service requirement.

This opportunity suits providers experienced in delivering background support in a care or housing setting, particularly those able to support older people at Orchid House in Thirsk. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate service quality and explain the social value their delivery would provide, as both form part of the scored quality assessment. Pricing is also a material part of the competition. The single-lot requirement calls for a provider able to deliver the overall support service, and the initial two-year term with possible extensions favours organisations able to maintain consistent delivery over a longer period. No specific professional accreditation, staffing level, qualification, or prior contract threshold is set out in the published requirement. The invitation was made through an open procedure, with electronic submission permitted in English.
