Southampton City Council - Residential & Nursing Care Home Strategy - Preliminary Market Engagement
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Southampton City Council is initiating a preliminary market engagement process as part of the planning stages for its Residential & Nursing Care Home Strategy. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage and aims to address the future needs of residential and nursing home residents in Southampton over the next five years. The engagement will conclude with a questionnaire due on 28th November 2025.
The Council is seeking input from providers of residential and nursing care homes to develop a comprehensive strategy. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically welfare services for the elderly and disabled, with the engagement taking place in Southampton, United Kingdom. This preliminary market engagement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in residential and nursing care services.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage this process to contribute valuable insights and potentially shape future contracting opportunities that emerge from the Council's strategic planning. Companies in the welfare services sector, particularly those offering innovative care and partnership experiences, are well-suited to participate and competitively position themselves for any subsequent contracts that may arise. Engaging early in this preliminary stage could establish beneficial relationships with the Council and enhance business prospects for the years to come.
The Southampton City Council Living and Ageing Well Commissioning team will be developing a Care Home Strategy in early 2026 to consider the needs of the city's residential and nursing home residents over the next five years. The Care Home Strategy will help shape the Council's future commissioning decisions and will be developed in partnership and in consultation with service users, care home providers and other relevant stakeholders. At this stage, the development of the Council's Care Home Strategy does not infer that any procurement procedure will necessarily follow.
However, for the purposes of transparency a preliminary market engagement notice is being published concerning the preliminary market engagement that the Council intends to undertake this autumn 2025 in developing its Care Home Strategy - given this may shape the Council's future commissioning intentions. For further details as to how residential and nursing care home providers can participate in this preliminary market engagement, residential care home and nursing care home providers can register on and access the Council's e-procurement portal - Proactis- at: supplierlive.proactisp2p.com then clicking on the "Opportunities" tile to search for the pre-market engagement project (reference: REQ/1000418).
