Complex Domiciliary (Home) Care Service - Adults & Children and Young People (Lot 20)/Domiciliary Care for Adults with Progressive Degenerative Conditions (Lot 21)

NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Complex Domiciliary (Home) Care Services for Adults & Children and Young People, as well as Domiciliary Care for Adults with Progressive Degenerative Conditions, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This award, confirmed on 11 February 2025, bypasses the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 due to its special framework agreement status, involving activity-based pricing as per the local prices schedule. The contract runs from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2032, with services delivered in the UKK2 region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the healthcare service industry, particularly those specialising in domiciliary care for complex cases and progressive conditions. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Gerry Shaw, the awarded supplier, stand to benefit substantially from long-term, stable contracts. Companies capable of providing specialised home care services and managing multi-year agreements without competitive bidding processes are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, facilitating business growth and an expanded market presence.
