This open procedure commenced publication on 31 July 2025, with important deadlines including an expression of interest closure on 27 August 2025, and submission by 28 August 2025. The final contracts were awarded on 1 May 2026, following an active stage initiated on 1 April 2026. The framework encapsulates five lots across various regions within Derby, with the strategic objective to enhance independence, dignity, and well-being of care recipients through innovative services. The sector targeted falls under health and social work services, a segment demanding CQC registration with a minimum rating of 'Good' or 'Outstanding'. With the aim of reducing institutional care demand, this tender opens significant business growth avenues for providers specialising in adult care services. Companies with existing capabilities in deploying Technology Enabled Care to support personalised care services will find this opportunity particularly beneficial.
