Tender description
The Southampton City Council Living and Ageing Well Commissioning team will be developing a Care Home Strategy in early 2026 to consider the needs of the city's residential and nursing home residents over the next five years. The Care Home Strategy will help shape the Council's future commissioning decisions and will be developed in partnership and in consultation with service users, care home providers and other relevant stakeholders. At this stage, the development of the Council's Care Home Strategy does not infer that any procurement procedure will necessarily follow. However, for the purposes of transparency a preliminary market engagement notice is being published concerning the preliminary market engagement that the Council intends to undertake this autumn 2025 in developing its Care Home Strategy - given this may shape the Council's future commissioning intentions. For further details as to how residential and nursing care home providers can participate in this preliminary market engagement, residential care home and nursing care home providers can register on and access the Council's e-procurement portal - Proactis- at: https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/ then clicking on the "Opportunities" tile to search for the pre-market engagement project (reference: REQ/1000418).
