The focus is on establishing a closed framework agreement divided into four geographical lots: Harrogate and Rural, Scarborough and Whitby, Hambleton and Richmondshire, and Vale of York (Selby and Ryedale). The framework is set to last for a potential four years, commencing on 1st October 2026 and concluding on 30th September 2028, with the option for extension until 2030. The open procedure operates under the Light Touch Regime, and interested parties must submit their bids via the North Yorkshire Council's e-tendering system, YORTender, before the deadline on 29th May 2026. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for providers registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) that have a rating of 'Requires Improvement' or better and specialise in supporting individuals with complex care needs. The framework aims to engage up to twelve providers across the four lots, encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate, given their reputation for adaptability and community focus. Businesses suited for this tender are those with expertise in health and social work services, capable of managing specialised care environments, and eager to become contractual partners with the North Yorkshire Council. With potential demand variability and inflationary adjustments, companies capable of scaling operations effectively will likely benefit significantly from the consistent referrals and financial terms outlined for successful providers. ## Notice North Yorkshire Council are looking to establish a closed framework for the provision of Bed-Based Intermediate Care Services. The framework will have a maximum duration of 4 years (2 years with the option to extend for an additional 12 months and then a further 12 months). The framework will be established under the Light Touch Regime. The framework will be divided into 4 geographical Lots and there will be a maximum of 3 providers appointed to each Lot. Further details are included within the tender documentation. The service must be able to support people with complex life circumstances and specialist care needs, including, but not limited to dementia, mental health, delirium, learning disability and autism. This may include people undergoing an assessment for Continuing Healthcare. Providers must be registered with CQC and have an inspection rating of 'Requires Improvement' or above. The tender will be published on North Yorkshire Council's e-tendering system, YORTender. For guidance on using YORTender to access the opportunity, the following videos are available: 1.
