    Brief

    The Portsmouth Council is establishing an 8-year Open Framework Agreement to provide home-based care services, starting 20 July 2026. This framework will support people to live independently in their own homes through domiciliary care services ranging from minimal to highly specialised support. The framework is divided into 3 lots: Lot 1 - Standard Home-Based Care, Lot 2 - Complex Home-Based Care, and Lot 3 - Take a Break services. The Council currently commissions approximately 60,000-65,000 hours of care per month across 1,000-1,200 clients, with estimated annual spend of £22.8 million in 2025-26. Spending is expected to increase year-on-year due to inflation, wage increases, demographic changes, and potential 50% increases from year 3 onwards following Local Government Reorganisation. The framework will reopen at least once during the first 3-year period and again during the remaining 5-year term, with potential earlier reopenings triggered by supply/demand changes, requirement updates, or structural modifications. A voluntary standstill period of at least 8 working days applies before contract award, during which suppliers may lodge legal challenges.
