Housing with Care framework
Newcastle City Council · Local authority
In brief
Newcastle City 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 £11,600,000 including VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
The contract runs for 3 years, up to 4 years with extensions, starting 1 July 2027.
The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.
Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
Can I win this?
Competition
Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 50 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 £11,600,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
