    Brief

    Southend-on-Sea City Council is procuring a comprehensive Residential and Nursing Care Framework valued at approximately £296 million over eight years (5-year initial term plus optional 3-year extension in 12-month increments). This framework will serve adults with diverse care needs, including older people, those living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, individuals with mental health needs, and those requiring nursing care. The Council aims to establish a more transparent, consistent, and sustainable approach to residential and nursing care by aligning individual assessed needs with provider capabilities and appropriate fee structures. The framework will improve placement decisions, ensure consistency in funding, and strengthen understanding of the local care market's capacity. The procurement will be conducted under the light-touch provisions of the Procurement Act 2023, with the formal Invitation to Tender expected by end of 2026. Prior to formal procurement, the Council is engaging with providers to validate its approach and ensure the framework meets resident needs, reflects market capabilities, and supports sustainable, high-quality care delivery.
