Tender description

A procurement exercise for homecare services (ASC0307 - Home Care Services, Leicester) went live on 26th February 2024. The indicative timeline indicated that the contract award wouldn't take place until September/October 2024, which did not leave enough time to mobilise contracts, before the previous contracts were to expire on 6th October 2024. This is a statutory service, and a waiver was produced to bridge the gap between the previous contracts ending and the new arrangements being in place after a compliant procurement exercise. The Authority received a high volume of bids for the ASC0307 - Home Care Services procurement exercise and to allow for the Authority to appropriately evaluate the high volume of tenders received, a new waiver has been put forward to continue the delivery of existing arrangements and allow additional time for the current procurement process. This will then enable the Authority to bridge the gap between existing arrangements ending and new homecare services commencing.

About the buyer

Leicester City Council buys as a local authority, advertising most opportunities through East Midlands Tenders, its regional supplier portal. Larger contracts appear on Find a Tender instead, where any supplier awarded a contract must also register from April 2026. Some contracts run through outside frameworks, including ESPO and the Government Commercial Agency. Suppliers apply to those bodies directly to become approved framework suppliers. A two-year procurement plan for 2026 to 2028 is published on the council's open data site. Supplier selection also weighs social value, such as local job creation and environmental impact, alongside price.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Leicester City Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and software and information systems.
