## Summary

Brighton and Hove City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Care Home beds within the Brighton and Hove region, using an open procedure under a light-touch regime. The process included several rounds, with the most recent award completed on 19th June 2026. The tender, titled "BHCC - NK - Care Homes within Brighton and Hove - (Round 6) April 2026," falls under the services category, specifically targeting residential nursing care and social work services with accommodation. The contract runs from 4th July 2026 to 30th September 2030 and involves a gross value of GBP 319,000,000. The procurement aimed at making individual placements through a brokerage process, with no guaranteed volume, thereby providing flexibility in contracting additional comparable provision as needed.

This procurement initiative presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in residential nursing care services. With an open procurement method, new entrants and experienced providers who comply with specific criteria, like CQC registration, are well-positioned to compete. The process allows flexible engagement through spot purchasing, ensuring that care homes meeting quality standards have the opportunity to secure placements and expand their service offerings. Such collaborations can lead to increased market presence, revenue growth, and long-term partnerships with local government authorities.

## Notice

The Council was seeking to award contracts within the boundaries of Brighton and Hove for the provision of Care Home beds on a spot purchase basis. Out of city care homes are contracted via an alternative route. Bidders who passed the qualifying criteria were awarded a contract. Individual placements will be made on a spot purchase basis throughout the life of the contract. The Council guarantees no set volume of placements under this contract and reserves the right to contract for comparable provision through other means. Individual placements will be made via a brokerage process, where individual outcomes and costs are agreed between the Council and the Supplier. The Council reserves the right to reopen this tender process at a later date to award additional contracts for the same provision. Please note values are based on estimates and will vary based on referrals throughout the life of the contracts.
