Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the 'Provision of Extra Care Services,' an initiative aimed at enhancing health and social work services. The procurement, structured under an open procedure, covers various locations across the county including Broxbourne, Dacorum, East Hertfordshire, Stevenage, Watford, and Welwyn Hatfield. The procurement stage has advanced through planning, tender, and is currently at the award stage with contracts actively signed as of May 1, 2025. The services procured, under CPV classification 85000000, are tailored to provide care services in extra care housing facilities and hold the option to extend contracts by an additional two years when necessary. These locations are within the UKH23 region, offering a direct link between council procurement decisions and regional needs.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for SMEs specialising in health and social work services. Enterprises offering high-quality, flexible care services aligned with Care Quality Commission standards were encouraged to participate, reflecting the council’s emphasis on quality, which constituted 70% of award criteria alongside price at 30%. The robust competition involved notable companies such as Abbots Care Limited and Care By Us Limited, emphasising the potential for substantial contractual engagements and revenue streams over a contract period of up to 1800 days. Companies that can deliver versatile 24-hour on-site support and manage evolving care needs will find this contract advantageous for business expansion within the public sector service domain.
