In plain English
Plymouth City Council is looking for registered care homes (with PL postcodes) to join their framework to provide residential and nursing care for adults who need support due to age, disability, or health conditions. They are reopening applications and have split the opportunity into two lots: standard care homes and care homes that want to work with them on innovation in complex care commissioning.
What the buyer wants
• Operate a registered residential care home, nursing home, or combined residential and nursing care home with a PL postcode • Provide support ranging from help with daily living tasks (bathing, dressing, eating, mobility) to complex nursing care for people with chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, or disabilities • Demonstrate ability to deliver a safe, dignified, homelike environment with social and recreational activities • (Lot 2 only) Commit to working with Plymouth City Council on future commissioning and procurement strategy for complex care services
Lots
- Lot 1. Residential Care Home with or without Nursing Services with a PL postcode
- Lot 2. Residential & Nursing Care Home Services Innovation
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This contract is only for registered care homes with substantial infrastructure, clinical expertise, and CQC registration; a tradesperson or small service provider without an established registered care facility will not meet the basic eligibility criteria.
How to bid
This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
