What is being bought

The Council wishes to establish a Light Touch Framework (LTF) for Residential and Nursing Home Provision for Ageing Well People in Gateshead. This Light Touch Framework is for the provision of Residential and Nursing Care across all Resident groups, including but not limited to people with general need, individuals with learning and/or physical disabilities, mental health conditions, autism, neurological needs, palliative care and end of life care funded by the Council. The Light Touch Framework is only applicable for Residential and Nursing Care Homes situated in the Borough of Gateshead. Please note that Bids can only be made in respect of Homes within the Borough of Gateshead that are constructed, fully operational and CQC registered at the point of Bid submission. Once the initial procurement is concluded the LTF will close to new applications. However, the Council intends to re-open the LTF at least annually on the anniversary of the contract start date, to allow new or previously unsuccessful Care Homes to join the LTF. At such time new Bidders, or those who were previously unsuccessful, will need to complete new Bids accordingly. Any providers appointed to the LTF during the initial procurement exercise do not need to re-apply. Subsequent to this, the Council may re-open and re-close the LTF at its absolute discretion, any other interval it deems appropriate to invite new or previously unsuccessful Care Homes to join the LTF. If and when the LTF is re-opened for applicants, new Bidders will have to complete new applications / Bids accordingly. Any providers appointed to the LTF during the initial procurement exercise do not need to re-apply. Additional Lots may be added to this LTF during the contract period. Full details regarding the operation of this Light Touch Framework can be found in the ITT document.

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.

“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

£162,649,880 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £250,000,000.

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.

This Light Touch Framework is for the provision of Residential and Nursing Care across all Resident groups, including but not limited to people with general need, individuals with learning and/or physical disabilities, mental health conditions, autism, neurological needs, palliative care and end of life care funded by the Council.\nThe Light Touch Framework is only applicable for Residential and Nursing Care Homes situated in the Borough of Gateshead. Please note that Bids can only be made in respect of Homes within the Borough of Gateshead that are constructed, fully operational and CQC registered at the point of Bid submission.  \nOnce the initial procurement is concluded the LTF will close to new applications. However, the Council intends to re-open the LTF at least annually on the anniversary of the contract start date, to allow new or previously unsuccessful Care Homes to join the LTF.  At such time new Bidders, or those who were previously unsuccessful, will need to complete new Bids accordingly. Any providers appointed to the LTF during the initial procurement exercise do not need to re-apply.  \nSubsequent to this, the Council may re-open and re-close the LTF at its absolute discretion, any other interval it deems appropriate to invite new or previously unsuccessful Care Homes to join the LTF.  If and when the LTF is re-opened for applicants, new Bidders will have to complete new applications / Bids accordingly. Any providers appointed to the LTF during the initial procurement exercise do not need to re-apply.\nAdditional Lots may be added to this LTF during the contract period. \nFull details regarding the operation of this Light Touch Framework can be found in the ITT document.",

Please note that Bids can only be made in respect of Homes within the Borough of Gateshead that are constructed, fully operational and CQC registered at the point of Bid submission.  \nOnce the initial procurement is concluded the LTF will close to new applications. However, the Council intends to re-open the LTF at least annually on the anniversary of the contract start date, to allow new or previously unsuccessful Care Homes to join the LTF.  At such time new Bidders, or those who were previously unsuccessful, will need to complete new Bids accordingly. Any providers appointed to the LTF during the initial procurement exercise do not need to re-apply.  \nSubsequent to this, the Council may re-open and re-close the LTF at its absolute discretion, any other interval it deems appropriate to invite new or previously unsuccessful Care Homes to join the LTF.  If and when the LTF is re-opened for applicants, new Bidders will have to complete new applications / Bids accordingly. Any providers appointed to the LTF during the initial procurement exercise do not need to re-apply.\nAdditional Lots may be added to this LTF during the contract period. \nFull details regarding the operation of this Light Touch Framework can be found in the ITT document.",
