## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is currently managing a procurement process for the "Derbyshire Framework for Specialist Residential Care and Nursing Homes (under 65 years)". This initiative, which falls under the services category, specifically targets social work services with accommodation, and is situated within the UKF region, covering areas such as North and South Derbyshire, Derby City, Nottinghamshire, and Nottingham City. Currently in the award stage, the procurement process commenced on 1st April 2024, with the tender documents being made available on 3rd November 2025. The process follows an open procedure and is aimed at establishing a framework agreement, set to start in April 2026. The procurement aims to replace existing arrangements for specialist residential care and nursing home placements, including emergency and respite care.

This framework presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing specialist care services, particularly those focusing on mental health, learning disabilities, autism, and sensory impairments, among others. Companies in the regions served by Derbyshire County Council, especially those that can offer innovative solutions and meet the quality criteria, could greatly benefit. This is an ideal opportunity for both large and SME providers currently operating or planning to establish services in the specified areas. The initiative also opens possibilities for previously unsuccessful applicants to re-apply or for current participants to expand their scope by adding additional care homes.
