Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Home Care Service, Leicester" contract, classified under health and social work services (CPV code 85000000). The procurement process, which involved a direct award, culminated in the awarding of the contract on 4th November 2024, with a start date of 14th April 2025 and an expected end date of 12th October 2025. This service is a statutory requirement, and the procurement exercise initially began on 26th February 2024. Due to the high volume of bids received, waivers were put in place to bridge the gap between the expiry of the previous contracts on 6th October 2024 and the commencement of the new service. The contract, worth £32.5 million, will be delivered in the East Midlands region.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses in the care services industry, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The involvement of multiple suppliers, including Adaptus Cares, Care 4 U (Leicestershire) Ltd, and Medacs Healthcare PLC, indicates a diverse market opportunity for providing home care services in Leicester. Businesses with a focus on health and social work services and those capable of delivering high-quality domiciliary care can leverage this contract for substantial business growth, enhancing their service offerings and gaining a strong foothold in the East Midlands care market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

FEW1457 - Home Care Service, Leicester

Notice Description

A procurement exercise for homecare services (ASC0307 - Home Care Services, Leicester) went live on 26th February 2024. The indicative timeline indicated that the contract award wouldn't take place until September/October 2024, which did not leave enough time to mobilise contracts, before the previous contracts were to expire on 6th October 2024. This is a statutory service, and a waiver was produced to bridge the gap between the previous contracts ending and the new arrangements being in place after a compliant procurement exercise. The Authority received a high volume of bids for the ASC0307 - Home Care Services procurement exercise and to allow for the Authority to appropriately evaluate the high volume of tenders received, a new waiver has been put forward to continue the delivery of existing arrangements and allow additional time for the current procurement process. This will then enable the Authority to bridge the gap between existing arrangements ending and new homecare services commencing.
