Request for Information - Framework for Live in Care

The North Yorkshire Council is currently at the planning stage for a public procurement process, titled "Request for Information - Framework for Live in Care". This initiative, falling under the health and social work services industry category, aims to provide Live in Care Services for adults aged 18 years and over, throughout the North Yorkshire region. The procurement process is set to create a framework agreement, with a framework value estimated at £43,302,270.

Important dates include a scheduled market engagement due on 16th May 2025, and an anticipated contract period starting on 1st October 2025, running until 30th September 2030, with potential extensions until 2032. The council is located in Northallerton and provides contact details for queries through Laura Baxter, via email or telephone. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the health and social care sector, specifically those offering live-in care services.

The framework agreement is particularly suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their service provision across North Yorkshire. Participation in this process allows businesses to engage deeply with a pivotal element of community care, enabling clients to maintain independent living. Such contracts not only provide financial growth opportunities but also bolster reputational and operational experience by aligning services with the legal framework outlined under the Care Act.
