## Summary

The procurement process involves Bedford Borough Council, which is seeking a suitably qualified organisation to provide extra care and domiciliary on-site care services for two of its extra care schemes located in Bedford. The tender, originally published on 9th February 2015, aimed to address health and social work services, with a total contract value of £7,250,000 and a minimum value of £4,750,000. This open procurement method had a tender period that ended on 24th February 2015, and the contracted services were set to commence on 24th October 2015 and last until 24th October 2018. However, the tender has since been cancelled.

This cancelled tender presents a potential opportunity for businesses specialised in health and social care services, particularly those that can provide extra care solutions and domiciliary care support. As the contracting authority is Bedford Borough Council, recognised for its commitment to community welfare, organisations with experience in delivering high-quality care services may find future tenders from this council beneficial for growth and expansion. A focus on collaboration with local authorities and understanding the specific needs of the community will enhance competitiveness in upcoming contracts.
