Coverage: 74 active published awards; 11 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
Cornwall Council is re-contracting Care Services for Older People, for providers with existing care homes registered and located within Cornwall. This will allow the Council to maintain the delivery of nursing and residential care services for older people based on existing care homes and will ensure care services are available to older people whilst the Council progresses a development framework for new schemes to bridge the gap between supply and demand in Cornwall.
The new contract will commence from 1st April 2026, following the close of the existing integrated care service contract with the NHS (covering Working Age Adults and Older People). The maximum contract duration will be 8 years. This will include an initial duration of four (4) years, with an initial option to extend by two (2) years and a final option to extend by a further two (2) years.
The Council intends to publish the Invitation To Tender (ITT) on 10th October 2025. Full details of the services, ITT process and timeline will be included in the ITT documentation attached to the ITT.
Providers are invited to express interest via the advert on Supplying the Southwest. Opportunity ID: DN775088. Further information relating to market engagement activity undertaken by the Council is included in the advert.
Please note that the Council is running two separate ITTs for Care Services:
- Re-contracting the provision of care services for Working Age Adults with existing care homes DN763294
- A new contract for the provision of care services with new development schemes in Cornwall DN770144
