## Summary

Kirklees Council procured domiciliary care services for people receiving care in the Kirklees area, within Yorkshire and the Humber. The requirement covers Category 1 of the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and relates to health and social work services (CPV 85000000). Services are delivered in the community rather than at a single specified site. The buyer is Kirklees Council, based in Huddersfield. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It concerns the provision of home-based care by capable care operators already admitted to the relevant category of the council’s purchasing system, supporting individuals in their own homes across the borough.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective further competition, using a call-off from a Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 31 March 2026 at 13:00, and the award date was 31 March 2026. The awarded value is £10,148,394.84. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030. The contract was awarded to 34 named providers, including Abhi Rose Homecare, Affleck Care Ltd, Care Counts Ltd, Routes Healthcare (North) Ltd, Yorkshire Care Services Ltd and other domiciliary-care operators. Individual award allocations ranged from £38,423.84 to £1,613,801.28. Evaluation was conducted through the council’s Category 1 DPS further-competition route.

This procurement shows sustained local demand for domiciliary care delivered through Kirklees Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future provider would need to deliver reliable home-based care across the borough, manage community-based care packages at scale and operate effectively within a multi-provider arrangement. The awarded field includes many small and medium-sized businesses alongside larger providers, showing that the requirement can suit established local operators as well as organisations with wider regional capacity. Strong candidates would need the operational systems, trained care workforce, scheduling capability and quality controls required for consistent service delivery in people’s homes, together with experience of working within a council-led purchasing system and responding to recurring further competitions.
