Provision of Residential and Nursing Care for Older People (Aged 65+)
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Medway Council is seeking input from the market during the planning stage for the "Provision of Residential and Nursing Care for Older People (Aged 65+)" project, under the health and social work services category. The Council aims to refine the service specification and banding structure to better address individual needs. A key milestone involves downloading and reviewing the proposed banding structure and responding by 26 November 2025.
The location of the service is in the UK region coded UKJ41 (Chatham, United Kingdom). Although this is a request for information, not a call for competition, providers' feedback will shape a responsive and outcome-focused commissioning model. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare services and those capable of delivering residential and nursing care tailored to older individuals' needs.
Companies with expertise in adaptive care models and a focus on equitable outcomes may find this opportunity particularly relevant. With Medway Council as the contracting authority, there is potential for businesses to engage in a framework agreement spanning from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2034, which can provide a stable revenue stream over several years. Providers are encouraged to participate in the market engagement to influence future contracting opportunities.
Medway Council commissions placements for older people (Aged 65+) who require residential or nursing care. Before commencing a procurement process, we are conducting a review of the service specification and the banding structure to better reflect individual levels of need, rather than diagnostic categories such as dementia. A market event was previously held on 29 April 2025.
This request for information (RFI) seeks additional feedback from the market to help shape a future commissioning model that is responsive, equitable and outcome focused. The RFI must be downloaded from the Delta tendering portal. This notice and associated documentation is not a call for competition.
The Proposed Banding Structure: Details of the proposed banding structure can be found in Appendix 2. Please download from the Delta tendering portal. Response required from providers: We invite you to review the attached banding structure (Appendix 2) and respond to the questions provided in Appendix 1.
