Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council procured a domiciliary care services spot-purchase call-off under Lot 5 of its Single Purchase Framework. The requirement covers health and social work services delivered in the North West of England, supporting people in their own homes rather than through a residential care setting. The procurement is for service providers able to deliver flexible, individual care arrangements commissioned as needed by the council. It is categorised as services, with the CPV classification 85000000 for health and social work services. The named buyer is Halton Borough Council, based in Widnes. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a specialist independent care provider could be an appropriate market participant.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Halton Borough Council used a selective procedure to make a call-off from its framework agreement. Bids were due by 24 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to NFC Health & Social Care Ltd on 25 May 2026 for £25,032.15. The contract period ran from 25 May 2026 to 21 June 2026. The award covers the full Lot 5 spot-purchase requirement, with one supplier identified. This was a short-term call-off for domiciliary care services rather than a long-term service contract. The award was active at the recorded outcome stage, and the selected supplier is identified as an SME.

This award demonstrates demand from Halton Borough Council for domiciliary care delivered in people’s homes through a framework call-off route. Suppliers best placed for similar requirements will be established home-care providers able to mobilise care workers quickly, manage short-term spot purchases and maintain reliable coverage across the North West. Credibility would depend on practical experience of delivering safe, person-centred care, coordinating rotas and responding to changing individual needs. Providers should also be able to manage council commissioning and reporting requirements, maintain continuity of care and demonstrate sufficient operational capacity for multiple placements or care packages. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that this type of work can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large national organisation.
