PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire City Council commissioned residential care home services for older people under the National Care Home Contract. The requirement is for care homes and associated care services, rather than goods or construction work. Delivery is in Aberdeen. The procurement is part of the National Framework for Older People’s Care Homes, so the requirement sits within a wider established framework for care home provision.

The procurement is complete and contracts are active. The council used a limited procedure without a prior competition, citing technical reasons and the National Framework for Older People’s Care Homes. Care Concern Group and Barchester Healthcare are named as awarded suppliers; the process description also names Mishma Care, CrossReach, Banff Care, Bayview Care Home, Anavo Care Scotland and other care providers as further awardees. The recorded contract value is £33,982,406 in total and is not split by provider. The contract was signed on 6 April 2026. The procurement reports 31 bids. No individual award date or contract duration is stated in the available contract details.

This award shows demand from Aberdeenshire City Council for older people’s care home provision through the National Framework for Older People’s Care Homes. Relevant competitors are established care home operators able to provide residential care for older people in Aberdeen and meet the framework’s requirements. The large group of named providers indicates that the requirement is served by multiple operators, rather than one exclusive provider. Businesses assessing this market should focus on their ability to deliver the same care home service locally and to participate through the framework route. The procurement data does not set out specific accreditations, staffing levels or technical qualifications, so these cannot be treated as established requirements.
