## Summary

Durham County Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a Framework Agreement concerning the provision of Domiciliary Care Services. This tender, set to start from April 2026 to March 2030, aims to support adults, children, and young people. The contract is primarily intended for Durham County Council and potentially North Durham and Durham Dales Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Groups within the first year. Located in Durham, United Kingdom, this procurement falls under the "Health and social work services" industry category, with an open procedure method. Businesses willing to compete should heed the anticipated future notice by December 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of health and social work services, particularly those offering domiciliary care. The framework's extended duration suggests a stable partnership, suitable for businesses capable of sustaining services over multiple years. Both new entrants and established care service providers seeking to expand their footprint within County Durham would find this procurement advantageous, enabling growth and deeper market penetration in the public sector.

## Notice

The Framework Agreement is for the provision of Domiciliary Care Services for Adults, Children and Young People. This Contract will be available for use by Durham County Council on its own behalf and on behalf of North Durham and Durham Dales Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG's). It is not anticipated that CCG's will use the Contract from inception, though the intention is that care packages required by CCG's will be included within the first year of the agreement. This will be confirmed in writing to providers before call off of CCG packages commences
