Based in Norwich, United Kingdom, the procurement involved multiple lots across various regions. The tender process was part of an open procedure with an emphasis on electronic submissions through the Council's e-procurement system, and the tender period ended on 30 April 2026. Unfortunately, the tender was cancelled on 28 May 2026 due to no suitable bids being received that met the scoring criteria. The contracting process covered planned residential care for adults over 65 and those with physical disabilities, aiming to establish a strong supply chain of residential care beds. This tender presented significant business opportunities, especially for SMEs and VCSEs that offer residential care services. The proposed contracts were open to competition across 13 lots, allowing providers to be awarded multiple contracts. Despite the cancellation, businesses in the health and social care sector can leverage this information and prepare for future opportunities, ensuring their services meet the criteria and needs highlighted in the Council's requirements. Companies specializing in residential respite care or long-term care have the potential to benefit greatly when these contracts are reopened, providing services to various community regions in Norfolk. Additionally, successful bidders would gain the advantage of long-term contracts, including options for renewal, further solidifying their business growth and stability in the public sector. ## Notice Norfolk County Council is committed to maintaining a robust supply of residential care beds for adults across Norfolk, with a particular focus on ensuring high standards of care and market stability. The Council wishes to award block contracts to providers to deliver various residential home services under 13 lots.
