The Council is seeking to award contracts within the boundaries of Brighton and Hove for the provision of Care Home beds on a spot purchase basis. Out of city care homes are contracted via an alternative route. Bidders who pass the qualifying criteria will be awarded a contract. Individual placements will be made on a spot purchase basis throughout the life of the contract.The Council guarantees no set volume of placements under this contract and reserves the right to contract for comparable provision through other means. The estimated contract value represents the estimated spend on all care home activity for six years, through all contracting routes which will vary. Individual placements will be made via a brokerage process, where individual outcomes and costs are agreed between the Council and the Supplier. The Council reserves the right to reopen this tender process at a later date to award additional contracts for the same provision. This is a re-run of the June 2024 tender.
