The tender seeks the provision of residential and/or nursing care services for individuals primarily over the age of 65 within the East Midlands region. The tender process, initiated with an open procedure, is active and invites submissions until 4th August 2025. The contract is set to commence on 1st September 2025 and is planned for an initial duration of 48 months, potentially extending to a total of 60 months. This procurement process presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the healthcare and social work sectors, particularly those providing residential, nursing, or respite care services. With an estimated contract value of £23,568,000, it offers substantial revenue potential for successful suppliers. The opportunity is well-suited for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) that can comply with the light touch regime under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, deliver quality care, and are interested in expanding their service delivery to individuals residing within North Northamptonshire. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council is reopening this tender for the provision of residential and/or nursing care for people aged predominantly 65 years and over. Individuals placed by the Council will be ordinarily resident within the North Northamptonshire and meet the admission criteria for people requiring residential, nursing or respite care. The Service will be required to provide regulated accommodation, care, support and meaningful activity to those people for whom it is not appropriate, either in the short or longer term, to live in their own homes. The Service will be delivered in a way that ensure Individuals are at the heart of service delivery by maximising their ability and opportunity to live as independently as possible through the provision of good quality care and compliance with regulatory care standards. For Providers who are currently in a contract or out of contract with NNC and agree to be appointed to the DPS, NNC will review and uplift their weekly care package cost in line with the new contracted expected to pay rate set out in the DPS. On appointment to the DPS, any existing agreements or arrangements covering the same scope as the DPS, will be extinguished and superseded by the DPS. The Council proposes to enter into one (1) Contract for an initial period of 48months with the preferred Potential Supplier, with an option to extend for 12months, making 60 months in total. Please note: This contract started on 1st August 2022. The light touch regime (LTR) applies to the Services under this DPS, as per Public Contracts Regulations 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cc67835-6597-4f7c-827e-c97d535fe06f | | 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 | 21 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2025 - 31 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £23,568,000 | | 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 | NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | KETTERING | | Post town | Northampton | | Postcode | NN16 8TL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF25 North Northamptonshire | | Local authority | North Northamptonshire | | Electoral ward | Northall | | Westminster constituency | Kettering | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85100000 - Health services - 85200000 - Veterinary services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 21 Jul 2025 at 10:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cc67835-6597-4f7c-827e-c97d535fe06f ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cc67835-6597-4f7c-827e-c97d535fe06f 21st July 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nnc/aspx/Home Please visit the North Northamptonshire Council e-Procurement Portal (https://in-tendhost.co.uk/nnc/aspx/Home) to access the full tender documentation for this opportunity and submit a bid. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
