Summary, notice description and lot information
The Nottinghamshire County Council has completed a procurement process for a multi-provider Framework Agreement to deliver Care, Support and Enablement (CSE) services. The agreement spans several key lots, including Supported Living, Enhanced Supported Living (Plus), Accommodation and Support, and Community Networks across Nottinghamshire County. From the initiation of the tender to its current completion, the process was conducted under an open procedure as per the Light Touch regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
The initial term of the agreement is four years, with the option to extend for an additional 24 months, allowing for flexibility in service provision. This encompasses health and social work services under CPV code 85000000, with significant dates including the signing of contracts in August and September 2025. This Framework Agreement presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialised in delivering health and social care services to people with disabilities and complex needs.
Companies, especially those with a minimum of three years in the sector and a presence within 15 miles of Nottinghamshire, are well-suited to participate. Further, while registration with the Care Quality Commission is a prerequisite for lots 1-3, it is not required for lot 4, enhancing participation opportunities for a diverse array of service providers. The agreement facilitates growth within local and regional communities through direct awards and mini-competitions, catering also to SMEs as demonstrated by multiple active suppliers, including Acclaim Care Agency and Ace Care 4 U Limited, amongst others.
