Residential & Nursing Care Homes Framework
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council is in the planning stage of the Residential & Nursing Care Homes Framework, focusing on health and social work services for the region of Bootle, United Kingdom. The initiative aims to enhance the Council's collaboration with care homes through engaging workshops and consultations, as exemplified by the upcoming Residential & Nursing Care Homes Consultation Event, scheduled for 18th June 2025. This engagement is part of Sefton Council's strategy to ensure a consistent and quality approach to health and social care commissioning, highlighting the council's role as a buyer.
The tender process is expected to commence with contractual arrangements starting on 1st February 2026 and spanning until 31st January 2030 with a potential extension possible up to January 2034. This tender provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses operating in the care and social work sectors, especially those capable of offering residential and nursing services. Organisations experienced in providing person-centred care and commitment to workforce development will find this framework beneficial.
Small and medium-sized enterprises with a focus on innovative care solutions and an interest in contributing to the integrated health and social care agenda in Sefton are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The collaboration framework aims to better reflect Sefton demand and improve care quality, thus opening doors for providers to expand their services and strengthen partnerships within the community.
Sefton Adult Social Care can better shape the market and meet their duties to protect the most vulnerable. New contractual and service specification arrangements are implemented. A system is established which supports continuation of the integration agenda.
There is a consistent approach to commissioning residential and nursing placements across Health and Social Care in Sefton, ensuring a single voice from statutory leadership and Commissioners. There is the ability to implement arrangements based in the principles of person-centred care and an enabling approach to service delivery, including moving beyond the commissioning of traditional services. There is a system which can be used for specific commissioning arrangements, like block-booking of beds during Winter pressure periods.
The Council and Providers can work together to be in a better position to meet changing need and provide the care support needed in the future, and reflect this in the framework arrangements, such as with regard to being clear on Sefton demand, such as that identified in Joint Strategic Needs Assessments and wider Health & Social Care system demand profiling. The framework will support the continuous drive to improve quality in care homes and to further support care homes to develop the workforce.
