Who buys Health and social work services in North East England?
The most active buyers in North East England for this category on Tendarix include NHS North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board, Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, Darlington Borough Council. Councils (adult social care, children's services, public health) and NHS integrated care boards are the commissioners. Most care is purchased through open frameworks and DPS arrangements that admit new providers year-round rather than one-off tenders.
What does CPV code 85000000 cover?
Division 85 covers health and social work services — domiciliary care, residential and nursing care, supported living, children's social care placements, GP and clinical services, and public-health programmes. It is one of the largest divisions by spend and the most SME/VCSE-accessible.
How do I win Health and social work services contracts in North East England?
Join the relevant care DPS/framework for each council you can serve — entry is usually CQC registration plus policy evidence, and business then flows through placements and mini-competitions. Quality scoring leans on CQC ratings, staff retention/training data and outcomes evidence; under the Provider Selection Regime, NHS clinical services follow different award routes, so read which regime the notice cites before writing a word. NEPO is the front door: its portal (Open) carries the region's council tenders and its solution frameworks channel common categories, so registration there covers most of the market in one step. With only twelve buyers on the council side, relationships and framework positions compound quickly — win one authority and neighbouring evaluations will know your name.
