Residential and Nursing Care Home Services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Staffordshire County Council is managing a public procurement process for "Residential and Nursing Care Home Services" under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). This DPS addresses health and social work services across the United Kingdom and is divided into ten distinct categories, or lots, covering both residential and nursing services for various needs such as dementia, physical disability, and mental health. The procurement commenced with the tender period beginning on 11 December 2017.
The contract period spans from 11 December 2017 to 31 March 2029, with recent awards of Call Off Contracts taking effect from 11 March 2025 to 10 June 2025. The DPS has been extended in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, ensuring continuity of service provision. This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses providing health and social care services, especially those registered with the Care Quality Commission.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate in this dynamic purchasing system, as the procurement method involves selective tendering through Call Off Contracts, favouring flexible and responsive service providers. With a total procurement value of £274.81 million, this initiative represents a substantial investment in social care, enabling qualified businesses to expand their market presence and foster growth through long-term contractual engagements with Staffordshire County Council.

The DPS arrangement will remain open up to 30 September 2019 with an option to extend and the Council will continue to receive and consider applications to join the DPS until such closing date.
