Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the direct award of a contract for Residential and Funded Nursing Care Services by Westminster City Council, under the category of social work services with accommodation. The contract was initiated following the termination of the prior agreement on 16th June 2021, with the new contract commencing on 17th June 2021 and running for an initial period of 12 months, with options for further extensions. The tender was initially published on 25th January 2021 and closed on 15th March 2021, after which it was determined that previous tenders did not offer best value. The minimum contract value is £4,732,000, with a total value of £7,098,000, and the associated procurement method is direct single tender action, which is below threshold.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the care sector, particularly those capable of providing residential and nursing services. Companies that specialise in social care, particularly those capable of ensuring quality, compliance, and continuity of service during this transitional period, will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this and future contracts as Westminster City Council seeks to engage further with the market. With plans for renewed procurement exercises and market engagement slated for summer 2021, businesses that are agile and responsive to the needs of local authorities will be able to leverage these opportunities for growth.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Direct Award of Residential & Funded Nursing Care Services Contract

Notice Description

This contract falls under LRT. An open procedure procurement has recently been concluded to tender the services provided within Beachcroft Care Home in Westminster. The ITT was published on 25 January 2021 and closed on 15 March 2021 following two timescale extensions to allow the market more time to respond and following changes in TUPE information. Following the evaluation stage, the Authority considered that the tenders submitted did not demonstrate best value as the commercial aspects were not viable when assessed against the budget allocated by the Authority. The existing contract ended on 16th June 2021 and for the safety of the service users and for them to have continuity of service a interim contract was directly awarded. This contract will be for an initial period of 12 months commencing 17th June 2021 with the option to extend for two further periods of 3 months (12+3+3months). A new procurement exercise is being developed by council officers and further market engagement will be conducted in summer 2021 to understand the current market appetite, help shape the service model, and determine appropriate timescales for issuing a revised ITT as the market recovers from the impact of COVID.
