65+ years

Milton Keynes Council has finalised a procurement process for "65+ years" under the Social work and related services category (CPV: 85300000). The procurement was carried out using an open procedure and is covered by the GPA agreement. The tender, which targeted services within the UKG13 region, is now complete, with the award provided to Care MK.

The contract was signed on 27th January 2025, valued at £706.49. The procurement stage involved the initial tender, lots, award criteria focusing 60% on features and 40% on price. However, the status of the lot was marked as cancelled.

The entire process saw 19 bids submitted for the lot. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those experienced in elderly care. SMEs like Care MK, which was the successful bidder, can significantly benefit from such contracts, ensuring growth through regional authority engagements.

Businesses capable of demonstrating strong features in service delivery at competitive prices are well-positioned to compete in such procurement processes initiated by local councils like Milton Keynes Council. This highlights the importance of quality and cost-efficiency in public service tenders.
