Tender: Reopening Home Care Support Framework – Bracknell Forest Council (Adult Home Care Services)

About

Bracknell Forest Council is seeking suppliers to join its reopened Home Care Support Framework for the provision of home care services to adults living in Bracknell Forest. The Framework, originally commenced in April 2022 and reopenable at the Council's discretion, will be used to advertise, tender and award call-off agreements for packages of care. Successful providers are anticipated to join the Framework from January 2026 and, once admitted, will be able to bid for packages where they meet the Council’s requirements; the framework term expires on 30 September 2027. The service covers adults aged 18+ who meet the Care Act 2014 eligibility criteria, including individuals with a range of needs such as complex and challenging behaviours, and includes personal care, discharge to assess and reablement after hospital admission. Although the provision is for 18+, this specific service is primarily a regulated activity for the 65+ delivered by CQC-registered providers; support for people with learning disabilities (referred to as Supported Living) is arranged separately and is out of scope for this tender.
