Framework for Home Care Services in Herefordshire - Online Meet the Buyer / Market Engagement Event
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Herefordshire Council is set to commence a procurement process aimed at establishing a framework for Home Care Services within Herefordshire. The focus is on engaging suppliers to deliver vital health and social work services, ensuring residents can maintain independence and safety in their homes. The process is currently in its planning stages, with an online Market Engagement event scheduled for 27 January 2026.
This initiative is classified under the 'services' category, falling within the scope of the light-touch regime and is above threshold. Potential suppliers should note the key deadline for expressing interest is 23 January 2026, and participation requires prior registration with the Supplying the Southwest Portal. This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services.
It is particularly suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their footprint in the public sector by tapping into Herefordshire's market. Engaging in this tender allows businesses to forge critical relationships with the Herefordshire Council and expand service delivery within the locality. Businesses that provide innovative and enabling home care solutions are encouraged to participate, as the framework is designed to foster care models that enhance users' independence and quality of life.
Herefordshire Council will be running an online Market Engagement event for all businesses interested in delivering Home Care Services in Herefordshire. These services are commissioned for residents with assessed eligible needs, in order to enable them to remain safe and independent in their own homes for longer, reducing or delaying the need for more formal health and social care services. The online engagement event will take place on Tuesday 27 January 2026 via Microsoft Teams, for those who were unable to attend one of the three in person sessions held in December.
There are two sessions available: Session 1: 10am - 11am (the meeting room will open at 9:55am) Session 2: 3pm - 4pm (the meeting room will open at 2:55pm) ALL SUPPLIERS WHO WISH TO ATTEND WOULD NEED to e-mail Jessica Kingswood-Preece, Commissioning Support Officer, at contracts@herefordshire.gov.uk by 1pm on Friday 23 January 2026 and confirm:
