In line with section x and xvii of the ITT Procurement Pack and Terms and conditions, Schedule 5 - Operation Of Framework And Mini-Competition Process, this procurement is a re-opening of the Framework Agreement to invite new service providers to submit a Tender with a view to new service providers joining the Framework with Commencement Date of 15th February 2027. For the avoidance of doubt, if you have already been awarded to the IA3668 Residential And Nursing Care Home Services For Adults Aged 65 And Over Framework Agreement which has a Commencement Date of 1st September 2026 you do not need to submit or re-submit a Tender. The Framework is primarily aimed at individuals whose ordinary residence is within Staffordshire (which excludes Stoke on Trent). However, all Placement's will be made based on individual assessed needs, aligned to appropriate legislation, and will be within a reasonable distance, usually up to twenty (20) miles from the Resident's usual place of residence, as detailed in the Council's Choice Policy, unless the Resident chooses a care home outside the 20-mile radius. Where there are no Placements within a reasonable distance that can meet the Resident's assessed needs, the Council will consider locations outside of the reasonable distance. Schedule 1 (the Specification) of the Framework Agreement sets out the minimum requirements a Service Provider must follow when delivering Services to Residents whose needs fall under the designated Lots of: • Lot 1 - Residential for Older People • Lot 2 - Residential for Older People with Dementia • Lot 6 - Nursing for Older People • Lot 7 - Nursing for Older People with Dementia The Service Provider must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to deliver residential and/or nursing care for Residents aged 65 and over. The Service Provider must also hold registrations for other care category specialisms to meet both primary and secondary needs of Residents, making this clear in their statement of purpose. If a Resident has multiple care needs, their primary need decides the Lot they are placed under. Needs may change over time, so the Council expects the Service Provider to be flexible either by meeting changing needs or ensuring a smooth transfer to another service provider if needed. The Service Provider must accept referrals for all types of Care Home stays which include: • Long Stay: A placement within a residential or nursing care Home where the intention is that the Placement shall be the Resident's permanent residence. • Temporary Stay: An individual who needs to stay in a residential or nursing care home for (i) a limited period where there is a plan to re... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/residential-and-nursing-care-home-services-for-adults-aged-65-and-over-framework-issue-2-ocds-h6vhtk-06ef50) ## Lots (4) ### Lot 1: Residential for Older People - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £253,253,972 - **Description:** Lot 1 will be placements in Care Homes for individuals who may: • require care and support over a twenty-four (24) hour period, including observation and/or supervision to maintain safety; • have a high level of assessed care needs; • require assista... - **Contract Period:** 15/02/2027 to 31/08/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 2: Residential for Older People with Dementia - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £633,385,550 - **Description:** Lot 2 will be placements in Care Homes individuals who may: • require care and support over a twenty-four (24) hour period, including observation and/or supervision to maintain safety; • have a high level of assessed care needs; • require assistance ... - **Contract Period:** 15/02/2027 to 31/08/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 6: Nursing for Older People - **Lot id:** `6` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £150,737,197 - **Description:** Lot 6 will be placements in Care Homes with Nursing Care (such terms are defined in the Specification) for individuals who may: • require care and support over a twenty-four (24) hour period, including observation and/or supervision to maintain safet... - **Contract Period:** 15/02/2027 to 31/08/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ### Lot 7: Nursing for Older People with Dementia - **Lot id:** `7` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £527,701,584 - **Description:** Lot 7 will be placements in Care Homes with Nursing Care (such terms are defined in the Specification) for individuals who may: • require care and support over a twenty-four (24) hour period, including observation and/or supervision to maintain safet... - **Contract Period:** 15/02/2027 to 31/08/2030 - **Renewal published:** yes - **Options published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F082547-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-09-01T10:24:50.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-25T13:06:25.121Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06ef50
