Early notice of a future tender

In plain English

London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames is looking for care providers to deliver domiciliary care (help with daily living at home), reablement services (helping people regain independence), and live-in care services. This is a 10-year framework agreement that started in January 2023, and Wandsworth Council can also use it.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver domiciliary care services to people in their homes • Provide reablement and rehabilitation support to help service users regain independence • Offer live-in care services where staff stay overnight with clients • Operate as part of an 'innovative platform' model (likely meaning you'll work alongside other providers and may need to use their systems)

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

Small sole traders or very new businesses will struggle: the council expects providers experienced in managing domiciliary care at scale, with CQC registration, robust safeguarding systems, and the ability to deliver across a borough. This is a 10-year commitment requiring significant infrastructure, not a one-off contract. If you do not already have care registration or cannot obtain it quickly, you will not be competitive.
