## Summary

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is leading a procurement process for an "Older People Residential Care Framework" in the region of UKJ11, United Kingdom. This public procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and is valued at approximately £40,000,000. Although the initial tender for this framework was withdrawn as of 12th May 2026 due to updated requirements, a new procurement process is anticipated. Pre-market engagement and consultation are expected to begin in early 2026, with the framework's commencement set for 1st April 2027. The procurement is at the planning stage, aligning with the Council's legal obligations under the UKPGA 2023/54 framework.

This opportunity provides a strategic growth avenue for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those focusing on care provision for older adults. SMEs can particularly benefit as the framework design considers their participation. The Council plans to novate existing care packages into the new framework, offering continuity and potential expansion for service providers already in the field. Businesses capable of delivering tailored residential care solutions with adaptability to framework conditions are well-suited to compete in this forthcoming tender process.

## Notice

Bracknell Forest Council intends to create a new framework for the provision of older people's residential care. This framework will support new placements only, however if a current care provider is successful in joining the framework then their existing packages will be novated to the framework terms and conditions. Current care providers who are unsuccessful in joining the framework will retain all existing care packages (unless removed for other reasons), but will no longer be offered new packages in the first instance The Council is still determining the precise structure and service model for this framework, and therefore is unable to provide further detail regarding the Lot structure at this time. Interested parties should note this may change prior to the publication of the tender, and therefore should not consider current arrangements as indicative of the framework design. The Council intends to carry out pre-market engagement and consultation in early 2026 to involve interested parties in this service design.
