Adult Social Care Extra Care Services Framework

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council · Local authority

In brief

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council has announced plans to buy care and healthcare work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £23,040,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 3 years, up to 5 years with extensions, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 12 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £23,040,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

The Council is seeking to work with providers who can deliver safe, reliable, person-centred and outcomes-focused services within designated Extra Care schemes, supporting people to maintain their independence, wellbeing and connections within their local community. Extra Care forms an important part of the wider adult social care market by providing accommodation-based care and support that enables people to live independently in their own home, while having access to planned and responsive support when required.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
