When this comes round again

Westmorland and Furness Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 748 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

77% of Westmorland and Furness Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Social care support during the day for people living in their own homes.

Main place of delivery will be at the residence of the service user, within the Westmorland and Furness footprint.

Providers who currently have call off contracts on the current Any Qualified Provider (AQP) Framework for the provision of Home Care Services, who successfully join the new framework, will have those call-off contracts transferred.

The AQP Framework is available for use by NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, and future successor organisations.
