Market Engagement for Residential and Nursing Care Homes in Suffolk
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Suffolk County Council is initiating a public procurement process focused on market engagement for residential and nursing care homes in Suffolk. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, with key milestones including engagement events on 25th April 2025 and 13th May 2025. The industry category for this procurement is health and social work services, and the location of the services is within the UK, specifically in the UKH14 region.
The main procurement category is services under the special regime "lightTouch". The contract period is tentatively set to start on 1st April 2026 and end on 31st March 2031, with potential renewal up to 31st March 2033. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those offering residential and nursing care services.
It is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. Engaging in this tender could provide businesses with the chance to collaborate with Suffolk County Council and potentially ICB partners, innovate in service delivery, and contribute to shaping future care home placement strategies. Service providers with experience in delivering value-driven and compliant care solutions are well-positioned to compete and benefit from this procurement opportunity.
This invitation is open to all care providers of residential and nursing including those who have worked with SCC previously, as well as those who have not. The purpose of these workshops is to discuss new ideas, innovate, and work collaboratively to reach a better understanding of how we can support the people of Suffolk to live their best and healthiest lives. The outcome from these sessions, along with outputs from resident engagement, will help SCC to develop a new approach for commissioning care home placements for older adult's care in Suffolk that reflects the views of providers, residents, and other key stakeholders.
This initial session is intended to assist the Council in understanding the views of service providers on how services could be best commissioned and provided. The aim is to establish a more practical means for the council (and potentially ICB partners) to administer day to day purchasing of individuals residential and nursing care beds to ensure procurement processes are legally compliant and achieving improved value for money while ensuring the council can access the right care and support provision for residents as required.
