What is being bought

Published requirement description

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint a single Provider to deliver person-centred care, support, wellbeing and emergency response services within two Extra Care Housing schemes located at Fitzwilliam Court, Hoyland and Westmeads, Royston. The Service is designed to support people aged 55 and over to maintain their independence, health and wellbeing whilst remaining within their own homes for as long as possible. The Service will operate across both schemes and will support residents through the delivery of planned care and support, wellbeing activities, safeguarding arrangements, risk management and partnership working with housing, health and social care services. The Provider will be expected to work collaboratively with residents, families, carers and partner organisations to ensure the delivery of coordinated, high-quality and outcomes-focused support. The Contract will commence on 1 April 2027 for an initial period of 36 months (3 years), with the option to extend for two further periods of 12 months. The services being procured fall within the above threshold Light Touch Regime as defined in the Procurement Act 2023 and associated regulations. This regime applies to certain social, health and related services and offers flexibility in the design of the procurement process. This procurement process will be conducted using the Open Procedure, a single-stage process under the Procurement Act 2023. All interested suppliers are invited to submit a full tender response. For further information, please download the tender documents pack. The deadline for submissions is at 12noon on 02/10/2026.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 1 Apr 2032, 23:59 BST.
