In accordance with its terms, the Framework was reopened for New Entrants to be admitted under the same requirements as the original tender exercise.\nThis procurement has been undertaken in line with the original Home Care Framework tender, and in line with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).\nProviders were required to complete a Selection Questionnaire which included compliance questions, minimum entry requirements, quality/technical questions and contract examples/references. The quality evaluation was undertaken by Council Officers including Commissioning and Adult Social Care.\nThe Home Care Framework operates a fixed pricing model, therefore the evaluation of tenders was weighted 100% on quality.\nIndependent credit references were sought to assess the applicants financial standing as part of the due diligence process.\nThe Tender was conducted via the Councils e-tendering portal (ProContract).\nThe contract opportunity was published on 17th November 2025 and open for 28 days closed on 15th December 2025.\nAt the point of tender there were 10 Providers on the Framework. Providers already appointed to the Framework were not required to resubmit to remain on the Framework.\nThe Framework will be used by the Council as a means to advertise, tender and award ‘call-off agreements’ for services that have common characteristics e.g. packages of care.\nThe Council is making use of the allowances of the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations allowing for the procurement procedures to be run in a way that does not conform to standard procedures so long as the principles of transparency and equal treatment are maintained.\nFor inclusion to the Framework bidders were required to meet the minimum entry criteria as detailed in the tender documents.\nThe estimated value of new packages to be awarded via the Framework from January 2026 until the expiry (30th September 2027) is estimated to be in the region of £250K. This is an anticipated value that is subject to demand and could increase dependent on service requirements. Appointment to the Framework does not guarantee any volume of work.\nFor inclusion to the Framework bidders were required to meet the minimum entry criteria as detailed in the tender documents.\nThe estimated value of new packages to be awarded via the Framework from January 2026 until the expiry (30th September 2027) is estimated to be in the region of £250K. This is an anticipated value that is subject to demand and could increase dependent on service requirements. Appointment to the Framework does not guarantee any volume of work.\nThe bids were evaluated by an evaluation panel consisting of Council Officers from Strategic Commissioning, Access to Resources and Adult Social Care.\nAll members of the evaluation panel conducted independent evaluation and scoring of each qualifying bid.\nThe evaluation panel then convened to conduct a moderation process facilitated by Corporate Procurement. This was to enable a comprehensive discussion and consensus to be reached on the scoring for each question within each bid and the agreed narrative to support these scores.",

Individuals will have a range of care needs, including complex and challenging behaviours.\nHome Care is the provision of personal care and practical support necessary to maintain an individual’s health, well-being, hygiene, and safety. The service allows people to remain in their own homes and maintain both their independence and quality of life, helping to prevent more costly solutions such as residential care. The service includes activities such as personal care and discharge to assess and supports the reablement of individuals following hospital admission. Whilst the service is available to eligible people 18+ the provision is primarily and foremost a regulated activity for people 65+, delivered by CQC registered providers.",

The Council will evaluate applications in line with the criteria.\nThe Minimum Eligibility Criteria includes:\nConfirmation that the office the service will be provided from:\n•\tHas a CQC rating of ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’\n•\tIs registered for personal care\n•\tIs within 45-minute drive (as determined by AA Route Planner) from the council’s main office\n•\tConfirmation that by the commencement of the framework your organisation will have implemented an electronic time monitoring system\nThe council and/or any of its advisers reserve the right to contact any interested parties who notify the council of its interest.\nPlease note that the framework does not include Supported Living services, as these arrangements are covered under other contracts.\nRefer to the procurement documents for additional information.",

    "description": "Bracknell Forest Council is reopening the Home Care Framework.\nThe Council is inviting applicants to join the Framework for the provision of home care services. The Framework is used by the Council as a means to advertise, tender and award ‘call-off agreements’ for services that have common characteristics e.g. packages of care.\nThe original framework commenced in April 2022. The framework could be reopened at the Council's discretion. The expiry of the framework term is 30 September 2027.\nSuccessful tenderers are anticipated to enter the Framework from January 2026. Once admitted to the Framework, Providers will be able to bid for any packages that are offered to Framework Providers where they are able to meet the Council’s requirements.\nThe service is intended to support individuals aged 18+ who live within Bracknell Forest and meet the eligibility threshold for care and support as set out in the Care and Support (Eligibility Criteria) Regulations 2014 for the Care Act 2014. Individuals will have a range of care needs, including complex and challenging behaviours. The service includes activities such as personal care, discharge to assess and supports the reablement of individuals following hospital admission. Although provision is for 18+ this specific service is primarily and foremost a regulated activity for the 65+, delivered by CQC registered providers.\nSupport to individuals with Learning Disabilities (referred to as ‘Supported Living’ in Bracknell Forest), is provided through a set of separate market arrangements and so is not in scope for this tender.",
