## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council procured an urgent home-based care and support service in Nottinghamshire, classified as health and social work services (CPV 85000000). The service provides short-term support for people who need a rapid response at home. Its purpose is to put temporary help in place quickly, either to support people while they regain independence or while longer-term home-based care arrangements are planned and organised. The requirement covers delivery within response times set by the commissioners and involves working with people whose needs may change over a short period. The buying organisation is Nottinghamshire County Council, and the selected supplier is based in Nottingham. The service was procured as a call-off from the Council’s Home First Services Framework Agreement.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award without prior publication of a competition, under Nottinghamshire County Council’s single-provider Home First Services Framework Agreement. The award was made to East Midlands Crossroads - Caring for Carers T/A TuVida. The contract value is £720,000 including the stated currency of GBP, and the contract was signed on 9 July 2026. The initial contract term is two years, with an option for the Council to extend it by up to two further years in 12-month increments. The requirement was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded. The procurement lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active.

This award shows established demand from Nottinghamshire County Council for rapid-response, short-term care delivered in people’s homes. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need to provide dependable home-based care and support, mobilise quickly, and meet response times set by commissioners. They would also need to support people to regain independence, while handling transitions to longer-term care where necessary. Credible providers would need sufficient local operational capacity across Nottinghamshire, with staff and management arrangements able to respond to urgent referrals and sustain service delivery over a multi-year arrangement. The direct-award route also shows that the Council uses its Home First framework for services within scope, so relevant providers would need to understand and compete through the Council’s framework and call-off model.
