- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
Neath Port Talbot Council has made an award for the recommissioning of our adult domiciliary care services under a new 'Open' Framework, the aim of which is to deliver care to adults living in their own homes, to support them to achieve improved outcomes.
The Framework will deliver high-quality, person-centred domiciliary care services to individuals in their own homes and has been procured as a ‘light touch’ framework under the Procurement Act 2023.
The framework will take the form of an open framework (a scheme of successive frameworks) up to eight years in duration, the first framework being a maximum of three years and the second a maximum of five years allowing periodic admission of new providers during the framework term.
The scope of services will include the delivery of care and support in line with assessed needs and Care and Support Plans. Services are expected to promote independence, wellbeing and prevention, supporting individuals to remain within their own homes and communities for as long as possible. Provision will include personal care, support with daily living activities, medication support and enabling approaches to care.
The Framework will not guarantee any volume of work.
The framework has been developed within the context of the Social Services and Well being (Wales) Act 2014, the Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 and the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, with a clear focus on delivering outcomes that matter to individuals.
