Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Out of County 24 hr residential care provision," specifically targeting the health and social work services sector. The procurement was conducted using a direct method, marked as below threshold without competition, under the light-touch special regime. This process culminated in an active award to Gainford Homes Ltd, a large supplier, primarily focused on providing 24-hour nursing residential care, including specialised services for dementia and older people.

The contract commenced on 1st April 2025 and will conclude on 31st March 2026, with a total value of £329,718 GBP. The service will be delivered in the UKC2 region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the healthcare and social work industry, particularly those experienced in residential care services, such as dementia and older people care.

Businesses that can offer comprehensive and high-quality care can consider future opportunities of this nature, especially those aiming to partner with governmental bodies like Durham County Council. Additionally, businesses operating large-scale care facilities would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, thereby expanding their market presence and service offerings within public sector projects.
