    Brief

    Bedford Borough Council is establishing an Open Framework Agreement to procure residential and nursing care home services under the Light Touch Regime. This framework enables qualified care providers to supply accommodation and care services for elderly and vulnerable residents requiring residential or nursing care. Suppliers interested in joining this framework should demonstrate their capability to deliver high-quality care services, maintain regulatory compliance, and meet the council's service standards. The Light Touch Regime applies a streamlined procurement process suitable for social services. Eligible providers can apply to join the framework and compete for care placement opportunities with the council.
