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. As the initial procurement is now concluded, the LTF is closed 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 who have now been 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, at 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. ## Lots (6) ### Lot 1: Lot 1 - General Residential, Dual Registered - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £250,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 04/10/2026 to 05/10/2031 ### Lot 2: Lot 2 - EMI Residential, Dual Registered - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £250,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 04/10/2026 to 05/10/2031 ### Lot 3: Lot 3 - General Nursing, Dual Registered - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £250,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 04/10/2026 to 05/10/2031 ### Lot 4: Lot 4 - EMI Nursing, Dual Registered - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £250,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 04/10/2026 to 05/10/2031 ### Lot 5: Lot 5 - General Residential - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £250,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 04/10/2026 to 05/10/2031 ### Lot 6: Lot 6 - EMI Residential - **Lot id:** `6` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 85000000 - **Delivery regions:** UKC - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £250,000,000 - **Contract Period:** 04/10/2026 to 05/10/2031 ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (6) - **Award:** Lot 1 - General Residential, Dual Registered (active) - Award id: `1` - Supplier(s): **AKARI CARE LIMITED, BARCHESTER HEALTHCARE HOMES LIMITED, CARE UK COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS LTD (+4 more suppliers)** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-COH-07737949`, `GB-COH-02849519`, `GB-FTS-185305`, `GB-COH:05242514`, `GB-COH:02935370`, `GB-FTS-63680`, `GB-COH:02363118` - Value: £325,000,000 (exc.
