Newcastle Home Care Services

Newcastle City Council is currently in the planning stage for a new public procurement opportunity titled "Newcastle Home Care Services," under the tag of tender initiation. This process focuses on the health and social work services industry category and is aimed at establishing a framework to deliver high-quality home care support to adults within Newcastle who meet the national eligibility criteria. The Council is targeting a wide range of individuals, including older people, those with mental health needs, physical disabilities, or specific conditions such as dementia.

The procurement involves a framework agreement, and the council is set to host a Market Consultation Event on 23rd February 2026 at the Pandon Room, Newcastle Civic Centre, where interested home care providers can engage and provide feedback ahead of the tender launch in April 2026. The contract period is planned to start on 5th September 2026 and is expected to run till 4th September 2029, with a potential extension up to 2032. This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses in the health and social work sectors, particularly those well-versed in providing personalised home care services.

Providers who specialise in supporting various vulnerable groups, including the elderly or those with specific health needs, are well-positioned to compete. The framework aims to bolster community connections and promote independent living, offering a platform for businesses to innovate and deliver person-centred care. Participation in the upcoming market engagement event will allow providers to influence the final framework design and align their services with the Council's objectives, potentially opening doors for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to contribute to local care services and broaden their business scope.
