This open tender, classified under the health and social work services category, invites service providers to participate in delivering care across specified neighbourhoods in Bury. The tender process currently is at the active stage, with the submission deadline extended to 9th June 2025. The initial contract is set for three years, spanning from 28th October 2025 to 27th October 2028, with a possible extension for two additional years based on performance reviews. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those capable of collaborating in primary and secondary frameworks. The contract allows up to ten primary providers and five secondary backup providers to collaboratively manage service delivery, fostering partnership and guaranteed workflow. SMEs and VCSE organisations are encouraged to participate, providing a lucrative platform for expanding market presence and building long-term partnerships with Bury Council worth £10 million. The open procedure ensures a competitive yet transparent procurement environment, ideal for well-prepared businesses keen on contributing to community wellbeing services. ## Notice Bury Council is seeking a number of providers to deliver its Care at Home Service. The service will be split into two lots as follows: The contract is split into two Lots, Lot 1 Primary Framework Providers (Main and Alternate) and Lot 2 Secondary Framework Providers (backup). Lot 1 Primary Framework Providers: up to ten main service providers will be appointed; two in each of the defined contractual neighbourhoods (please see map below outlining the areas). It is proposed that the main service providers will operate on a 'week on' and 'week off' basis. This means that, on their 'week on', main service providers will accept minimum 80% of all referrals; on their 'week off', the main service provider will be expected to accept up to 20 % of referrals. The reason for this is to allow the service provider time to embed the support plan for each person referred. The two main service providers in each neighbourhood should work in partnership to ensure 100% of packages are accepted. Lot 2 Secondary Framework Providers: up to five backup providers covering the full borough (all 5 zones) accepting packages of care when the Lot 1 providers are unable (must not exceed 600 hours unless in exceptional circumstances agreed by the Commissioner/ Council). The contract is for an initial period of three-years, with an option to extend for a further 2 x 12-month periods, dependent upon annual performance reviews and at the council's discretion. Submission date updated from 2nd June to the 9th of June as stated above. However the expressions of Interest to take part in this opportunity is now closed, which was on the 27th May at 17:00 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fad9ceed-72cf-4bf2-af0a-df20480a6c38 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jun 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2025 - 27 Oct 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BURY COUNCIL | | Locality | BURY | | Post town | Bolton | | Postcode | BL9 0EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD37 Greater Manchester North East | | Local authority | Bury | | Electoral ward | Bury East | | Westminster constituency | Bury North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 2 Jun 2025 at 10:16 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fad9ceed-72cf-4bf2-af0a-df20480a6c38 - 2 Jun 2025 at 10:13 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/067408e3-9d92-41b8-9e9c-efa9fe61e45e - 28 Apr 2025 at 16:57 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/47aac3c4-d821-451e-9aaa-693a34ee8c5e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/fad9ceed-72cf-4bf2-af0a-df20480a6c38 2nd June 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/067408e3-9d92-41b8-9e9c-efa9fe61e45e 2nd June 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/47aac3c4-d821-451e-9aaa-693a34ee8c5e 28th April 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.bury.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
