Home Care Framework

" This framework aims to establish domiciliary care services for adults and older people within the Bracknell Forest area, replacing the existing framework that will expire in 2027. The process, classified under the health and social work services industry category, is set within the UKJ11 region and involves establishing a framework agreement that aligns with the special light-touch regime. Potential participants should prepare for future notices, with significant milestones including the procurement planning notice published on 22 April 2025 and the future publication date set for 1 October 2026.

The framework is expected to have a contract period starting from 1 October 2027 and concluding on 30 September 2031, with an estimated value of £25,000,000. This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those operating within the health and social care sector. SME businesses are especially encouraged to participate, as the tender seeks service providers who can meet the framework's requirements for new placement services.

Successful applicants not only gain access to new clients but also have the potential to transition existing service arrangements under the new framework terms, pending final decisions by the council. Businesses capable of delivering quality domiciliary care and adapting to the evolving care requirements will find this an excellent opportunity to expand their service offerings within the Bracknell Forest region.
