What is being bought

The Council is looking to establish a flexible framework, for the provision of homecare to people within the Bath & North East Somerset Region. This will include long term social care and short term care to support hospital discharge and admission avoidance to people in their own homes. As of October 2027, we anticipate the provision of home care to be an estimated, 8,000 hours per week, across all funding streams and that this will grow in line with population growth and change over time. We require the care providers' registered office to be within a certain distance from the B&NES boundary - provisionally, this has been set at 30 minutes' drive from the border but this is open to consultation with providers and is not set. This is to ensure that there is sufficient management oversight available within an appropriate timeframe in the event of an emergency or any incident that requires escalation and further support.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£97,589,928 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £150,000,000.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
