## Summary

Gloucestershire County Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Pre-Market Engagement - Adult Social Care Reablement and Bridging Service in Gloucestershire." This initiative falls under the services category, focusing on health and social work services within the UKK region. As part of their Adult Social Care Prevention Strategy, the council aims to introduce a rapid-response, same-day support service, partnering with home care providers for the development of a community reablement service. A key engagement milestone is scheduled for 21st January 2026, as part of a market research exercise to shape potential future tender opportunities.

This pre-market engagement offers substantial opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in health and social care services. Providers who can deliver high-quality home care services efficiently and innovatively would be well-suited to compete in future tenders, particularly SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises. With a potential contract period from September 2026 to August 2030, businesses capable of entering framework agreements will be well-positioned to support Gloucestershire’s evolving care landscape.

## Notice

Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) is reviewing its current Home Care (Domiciliary Care) model to ensure it aligns with the Adult Social Care Prevention Strategy. Building on the success of hyper-local, neighbourhood-based home care, we plan to introduce a new rapid-response service designed to provide same-day support and we are also seeking support from Home Care providers to deliver the care and support for the Gloucestershire's Community Reablement Service. This is a market research exercise, GCC may or may not offer a tender opportunity in the future.
