Published requirement description

3.1 The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham is commissioning a Framework of Homecare providers for adults aged 18 and over residing in Barking and Dagenham. We use a strengths-based approach in our social care work and seek to build on the assets and relationships people have in their communities. We are committed to support and enhance our residents’ abilities and resilience to live in their own homes, for as long as possible, as independently as possible. Under the Care Act 2014, the local authority must provide or arrange for the provision of services that promote wellbeing, contribute towards preventing, delaying or reducing the needs for care and support in individuals and meet the needs for care and support of adults who meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Care Act 2014.

One of the most important service areas that the local authority commissions to meet these Care Act 2014 responsibilities is domiciliary care, or homecare, as we call it locally. Homecare is a service that provides paid, professional care and support to people in their own homes to help them to continue living their daily lives.

How this framework works

From the published notice

Places: up to 9 suppliers · 81 bids on the busiest of 4 lots (9.0 per place) · 9 appointed (full)
Framework period: 4 yrs from 1 Jul 2025

Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure

4 lots · all with a published value · win at most 2 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £30,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Quality: 60%Price: 30%Social value: 10%

Published award criteria (3)

Quality: 60
Social value: 10
Price: 30

Lot distribution rule: No lots will be combined. We require 3 lead providers for Lots 1-3, with two reserve providers for each lot, making a total of 9 providers for this contract. Lot 4 will combine all providers from lots 1-3 and shall act as cover if the capacity of all providers on any single lot is exceeded.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Homecare framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 9 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
