Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council has initiated a public procurement process for the provision of Care Home beds within Brighton and Hove, under the title "BHCC - EB - Care Homes within Brighton and Hove Round 5". This tender is classified under the industry category of residential nursing care services and social work services with accommodation. The open procedure procurement invites bids until 3rd December 2025, with an award period ending on 12th January 2026.

Located in the UKJ21 region, this initiative is part of a recurring procurement cycle aimed at ensuring care provision within the city's boundaries. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the residential nursing and social care services sector to expand their operations. Businesses that can offer quality care home solutions through a flexible spot purchase arrangement will be particularly well-suited to compete.

The procurement process is tailored towards ensuring service quality above other criteria, thus favouring firms with a robust capability for adaptable and individualised care placements. With a total contract value of GBP 350 million, this tender offers ample opportunity for growth and increased service provision for eligible companies, especially those ready to engage in a competitive brokerage process with the Council.

Notice Description

The Council is seeking to award contracts within the boundaries of Brighton and Hove for the provision of Care Home beds on a spot purchase basis. Out of city care homes are contracted via an alternative route. Bidders who pass the qualifying criteria will be awarded a contract.

Individual placements will be made on a spot purchase basis throughout the life of the contract. The Council guarantees no set volume of placements under this contract and reserves the right to contract for comparable provision through other means. Individual placements will be made via a brokerage process, where individual outcomes and costs are agreed between the Council and the Supplier.

Further details are provided in the Service Specification. The Council reserves the right to reopen this tender process at a later date to award additional contracts for the same provision. See full documents for details, starting with the instructions in Schedule 3.

This is a re-run of the tender from June, July and September 2024 and February 2025. Previous bidders are not required to apply for this iteration.
