Open Framework for Residential Care and Nursing Care of Older People within the Borough of Barnsley

Barnsley Council is seeking to establish an open framework (pseudo DPS) of CQC registered residential and nursing care homes within the borough of Barnsley.  The framework will allow the council to engage with suitably qualified Providers to deliver Residential and Nursing Care Home services. Individual older people and/or their representative will select their preferred residential/nursing care home from those providers listed on the framework and where the home chosen is able to offer a place, a placement agreement will be issued. Residential and nursing care home providers will be able to apply to be on the framework at any time, however the market should be aware that the council is not seeking to encourage the further development of the residential and nursing care home market within the borough.This is a procurement process conducted under the Regulations 74-77 of the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contract Regulations 2015
