About

The Council in the Borough of Gateshead is seeking care home providers to join a Light Touch Framework for residential and nursing care for ageing well people across all resident groups, including 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 framework applies only to care homes located in the Borough of Gateshead that are constructed, fully operational and CQC registered at the point of bid submission; following the initial procurement the framework will close to new applications but is intended to re-open at least annually on the contract anniversary to allow new or previously unsuccessful homes to apply, with the Council retaining discretion to re-open or close the framework at other intervals and to add additional lots during the contract period. Full operational and application details are in the ITT document.
