65+ years

Milton Keynes Council has completed a public procurement process titled "65+ years," focussed on social work and related services (CPV code 85300000). The procurement process, which followed an open procedure under the legal basis of CELEX:32014L0024, was intended for services within the UKG13 region. The tender has now reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 10th February 2025 to Chiltern Healthcare for a value of £353.25.

The primary procurement category for this process was services, and it involved a single lot which has since been cancelled, despite the contract being active. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and related services to explore similar future procurement opportunities with Milton Keynes Council. Companies with experience in quality service delivery, particularly those focusing on service features and cost-effectiveness (with award criteria weighted 60% for quality and 40% for price), would be well-suited for such tenders.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Chiltern Healthcare, who can demonstrate strong client reviews and specific capabilities, could leverage these opportunities for business growth within the regional and local authority sector.
