This initiative, under reference AC1500 and AC1660, falls within the Health and Social Work Services industry category (CPV 85000000) and is currently at the tender stage. The recommissioning of the framework will take place from 31 March 2026, and as such, Round 11 will close on 10 February 2025 at 12:00 noon. Interested bidders must ensure their submissions meet all requirements and are fully compliant, as no further opportunities will be afforded for resubmission in ongoing rounds. Providers must have a CQC-registered office in Wiltshire or a neighbouring area before bidding. The procurement process is open, with electronic submissions via the specified platform. This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for care providers specialising in home-based CQC-registered adult care and support services. Successful bidders will benefit from access to a high-demand service framework aimed at improving health outcomes, reducing hospital admissions, and supporting community care initiatives in Wiltshire. The framework encourages the participation of providers dedicated to high-quality, person-centred care, promoting independence and social inclusion. Businesses with a strong presence in or willingness to establish an office in the Wiltshire area, offering skilled and committed staff, and meeting compliance criteria, will be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice Important Update for Wiltshire Home Care Flexible Framework As the Wiltshire Home Care Flexible Framework will be recommissioned from 31 March 2026, we will now be opening and closing ongoing rounds in exceptional circumstances. We will not be setting a date to close Round 12 and therefore should bidders wish to submit an application to join they should do so prior to Round 11 closing on Monday 10th February 2025 at 12:00 noon. Providers should ensure their bids are completed in line with the requirements and are full and compliant as there will be no opportunity to apply again in ongoing rounds. Any bids submitted after the closing date of Round 11 will not be evaluated. If providers do not currently hold a Wiltshire-based CQC-registered office (or an office within a neighbouring local authority area, as specified in the Clarification Log), you must establish such an office prior to applying to join the framework. As per the tender documents, If you do not hold a CQC registered office in Wiltshire or a neighbouring local authority your bid will be deemed non-compliant and will not be evaluated. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Wiltshire Council are looking to establish a new Home Care Flexible Framework for the delivery of General Home Care Services for Adults in Wiltshire.
