The procurement is classified under the health and social work services industry and is set in the West Midlands, UK. The tender is following an open procurement method due to exceedance of the threshold, with the tender period closing on 2nd August 2021. The contract will commence on 1st September 2021 and will span five years, with a total estimated value of £17.5 million, allowing for extensions of up to 48 months. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those focused on elderly welfare services, social work, and accommodation provisions. Companies that offer residential care, nursing services, or related social work services would be ideally suited to compete. Furthermore, the flexible nature of the FCA means that there may be ongoing opportunities for new entrants throughout the contract period, allowing different providers to participate in mini-competitions for block contracts, which can help further diversify and expand their business portfolios. ## Notice Solihull MBC are tendering to create a Flexible Contracting Arrangement (FCA) under the Light Touch regime of the PCR 2015 to purchase residential and nursing care home beds for older people. This FCA will be with a range of providers and will be used to purchase both individual placements and also to run mini-competitions to award block contracts. The FCA will be for 5 years with options to extend for up to 24 months plus 24 months. The Council is not committing to any volumes through the FCA. The Council may open the FCA as required throughout the life of the arrangement for new tenderers to have the opportunity to obtain a place on the FCA. The Council may release mini competitions to those providers on the FCA to bid for block contracts throughout the life of the arrangement. This current opportunity includes the initial creation of the FCA and also a range of block contract opportunities with differing contract lengths with a total value of PS17.5m. Delivery of block contracts will be required to be within Solihull Borough.
