This procurement is situated in the UK region of Herefordshire. The Council will be conducting a Market Engagement Event to discuss this upcoming framework, with both in-person and online sessions scheduled for 8th and 10th to 11th June 2026. Interested parties must express their interest by 17:00 on 4th June 2026. The events will be held at the Herefordshire Archive and Record Centre and on Microsoft Teams, covering how to find council opportunities and bid for them successfully. This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs within the health and social care sectors, providing services that support residents to live independently in their homes. Businesses with experience or aspirations in delivering high-quality personal care tailored to the needs of individuals will find this framework beneficial for expansion and long-term collaboration with the Council. It offers an excellent platform to establish a partnership with the local government, enhancing market presence and contributing to community welfare. Providers are encouraged to engage early and prepare to leverage this opportunity for business growth in the service delivery of independent living solutions. ## Notice Herefordshire Council will be running a Market Engagement event for all businesses interested in delivering home care under a new framework, called Care In Your Home (CIYH) Partnership. Herefordshire Council has a statutory duty, under the Care Act 2014, to provide home care services for residents with assessed eligible needs, in order to enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes for longer, reducing or delaying the need for more formal health and social care services.
