This procurement falls under the category of social work services with accommodation and is targeted towards care homes for older individuals (65 years and above) whose primary needs do not pertain to learning disabilities. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 25th October 2019. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st December 2019 and will extend until 30th November 2024, with a total estimated value of £170 million, affecting service providers located within the South West region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the care sector, particularly those that operate residential and nursing homes. Opportunities for growth exist for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide quality care services within or near the Bath and North East Somerset boundary. Companies that excel in adult care services, possess relevant certifications, and can meet the requirements of the Flexible Framework may find this contract advantageous for expanding their service offerings and securing stable placements over the contract duration. ## Notice Bath & North East Somerset Council are establishing a Flexible Framework for the Provision of Care for Adults in Care Homes. The Flexible Framework will be used for making care home (both residential and nursing) placements for older people (65+ years old), whose primary need does not relate to a Learning Disability. The Flexible Framework is being established by Bath & North East Somerset Council and may also be accessed by BANES Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). The Flexible Framework is being established under the Light Touch Regime and therefore applies the flexibilities afforded under regulation 76 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Flexible Framework will be used for calling-off individual placements and block contracts at nursing and residential homes within the B&NES Council and/or CCG boundary. The Council also invites care homes who are close to the B&NES boundary to participate. The Flexible Framework will not be used to make out of area care home placements, unless the home is very close to the B&NES Council and/or CCG boundaries. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b289e61d-1da1-42e5-95e7-6456497346f4 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2019 - 30 Nov 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £170,000,000 | | 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 | BATH AND NORTH EAST SOMERSET COUNCIL | | Locality | BATH | | Post town | Bath | | Postcode | BA1 5AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | Bath and North East Somerset | | Electoral ward | Kingsmead | | Westminster constituency | Bath | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation ## Release History - 27 Sep 2019 at 12:14 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b289e61d-1da1-42e5-95e7-6456497346f4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b289e61d-1da1-42e5-95e7-6456497346f4 27th September 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=9ea39514-4ee0-e911-80fa-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.bathnes.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
