## Summary

Cornwall Council is planning a procurement process titled "Care Home Services (Older People)" aimed at maintaining nursing and residential care services for older residents in existing care homes. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically social services, with the goal to bridge the supply and demand gap in Cornwall. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, as part of a long-term strategy, and anticipates the establishment of a framework agreement. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026, with a potential end date of 31st March 2031, but can be extended until 2034. Key communication regarding future notices is expected by 7th July 2025. The process aligns with UK legislation as referenced in the legal basis documentation.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the social services sector, particularly those with experience in elder care, to expand and secure government contracts in a rapidly growing market. Companies that are capable of delivering consistent, high-quality care services and can adapt to scale according to Cornwall's needs will find this an ideal situation to demonstrate expertise and reliability. With a framework agreement in place, organisations can expect a stable and sustained business relationship over the contracted period, ensuring steady growth and resource allocation. Providers interested in this substantial opportunity should express interest via the platforms specified by Cornwall Council to capitalise on this planned procurement phase.
