Summary of the contracting process
Cambridgeshire County Council is in the process of recommissioning its Homecare Delivery service, currently scheduled for November 2027. The procurement falls under the services category with a focus on health and social work, specifically within the UKH12 region. The planning stage is active, and key engagement sessions with providers are slated for the 11th and 13th of November 2025.
These sessions will take place at Larkfield Hall, Ely, and the Lady Olivia Centre, Brampton, respectively. Attendees are encouraged to book via Eventbrite by 6th November 2025, ensuring focused and informed discussions to shape the 2027 homecare framework effectively. This upcoming tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in homecare services, particularly those with a capacity for innovation and a commitment to personalised care.
It is particularly well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs, fostering conditions for growth in a market with significant local demand. With a projected contract start date of 1st November 2027 and a ten-year span until 2037, businesses stand to gain long-term engagement by aligning capabilities with the council’s strategic ambitions of enhancing choice, flexibility, and sustainability in homecare services.
The notice in full
Cambridgeshire County Council is due to recommission its Homecare Delivery service (currently a Dynamic Purchasing System - DPS) in November 2027. Provision of homecare for adults with an assessed care and support need is a statutory duty for local authorities. The service currently costs Cambridgeshire in the region of PS54m each year and has a reputational impact for the local authority.
The council has committed to improving the homecare offer available to local people as a key aim of its Care Together programme. Working with local people and communities, our intention is to reshape homecare to become more personalised, outcome focused, place-based and locally delivered. This ensures alignment with corporate ambitions (Strategic Ambition 4 and Our Future Council and departmental priorities (ASPIRE and Prevention Strategy).
To deliver against these ambitions, the Homecare model we put in place in 2027 must:
- be more person-centred and locally delivered
- improve existing service and encourage innovation in support of local people, offering more choice, flexibility, and personalisation
- ensure that the council has access to quality and sustainable homecare provision
- explore efficiencies to help mitigate future demand growth for social care with balancing market shaping duties
- be aligned with the healthy ageing and prevention public health strategies where people are supported to remain independent.
During the recommissioning process a range of potential efficiencies, savings and opportunities that can support the council cost/quality ambitions will be explored. The feedback will support the council to gather real time intelligence to help shape the service requirements for 2027. We are inviting Homecare providers in to attend an online event on the 29th of July 2025 as part of our preliminary market engagement process.
