These services fall within the health and social work services category and have a cumulative contract value estimated at £117,000,000 over an initial period of 10 years, starting from 8th December 2025, with an option to extend for an additional three years. The procurement method is a restricted procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations (PCR) 2015, with the intention to issue an Open Tender under PA23 in April 2025 following cancellation of the current process. The final selection questionnaire submission deadline for bidders is 7th April 2025. This procurement contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare and social services sector, particularly those experienced with delivering high-quality care in residential and nursing facilities. Providers must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and demonstrate a good performance rating. The inclusion of different services such as residential, residential dementia, and extra care beds across multiple establishments offers wide-ranging opportunities for service providers to expand their operations and make impactful contributions to the local community in Buckinghamshire. Smaller to mid-sized healthcare providers with established compliance and quality assurance mechanisms would find this contract especially beneficial for scaling their operations. ## Notice Buckinghamshire Council is seeking a single provider to deliver care and support into four residential establishments in Buckinghamshire through a block contract 1.
