Housing with Care Transformation Norfolk

Norfolk County Council is actively involved in the "Housing with Care Transformation Norfolk" project, which is in the tender stage and seeks to award five contracts for housing with care services. The focus is on providing social work services across various regions including Norwich, Norfolk's North, East, and South regions. This procurement is structured into lots addressing specific geographical areas and consists of provision services for various housing schemes.

The tendering process uses an open procedure, with electronic submissions allowed via the Council's eProcurement system. Key dates to note include the tender period closing on 15 December 2025, with the planned contract commencement set for 26 June 2026 and a potential contract extension period of 48 months. The procurement is managed under the light-touch regime, and it adheres to government legislation and statutory instruments.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for businesses in the social care and housing sectors. With the procurement effort aimed at improving care services in housing schemes while fostering independent living for residents, businesses skilled in healthcare provision, community engagement, and innovative care solutions are well-suited to participate. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, offering them a significant opportunity to expand their service capabilities and grow their footprint within the care sector.

The scope for a substantial contract value allied with the opportunity to be awarded up to two lots ensures a diverse range of service providers can actively bid for this transformative project.
