Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has awarded the "Elmstead House Block Contract" to Elmstead House Care Home (Care UK) as part of a long-standing arrangement to provide essential nursing home beds for patients in need, particularly those living with dementia or complex health issues. This block contract, valued at £1,506,960 annually, focuses on delivering cost-effective care across North Central London. The procurement process was classified as limited, with the award made on 20 August 2021, following a rationale that exempted it from competitive tendering due to the risks associated with client displacement. The contract is delivered from Elmstead House, located at 171 Park Road, London, NW4 3TH.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses in the healthcare and social care sectors, especially those specialising in nursing and residential care services.

The historical stability of such contracts indicates a potential for long-term partnerships, inviting firms that can demonstrate reliability and quality in their service delivery to consider competitive bids in future openings.

Procurement Information

There is a clear justification why NCL CCG are not in a position to carry out a competitive tender for this accommodation. This historical contract is over 10 years old and in place to deliver a range of accommodation and support services to provide personalised nursing care for clients from the local area who are living with dementia or other complex mental or physical health needs. NCL CCG currently have individuals placed in the block beds and there would be significant risks to both the individuals residing at the care home and the provider as follows: *Clinical risk's as the CCG may have to re-home existing clients in the home, which would have a negative effect on their mental/physical health. *Litigation and complaints from existing clients and their relatives, as the service is seen as a 'home for life' by some. *Financial loss to the service, which may ultimately lead to its ongoing operation being unsustainable, and potential home closure. *Increased weekly costs for the current commissioned beds as they move to a 'spot purchase' arrangement. Alternative provision we have to source would be less value for money for the CCG. Current rates under the block are better than market average.
