Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council has completed the procurement process for a Temporary Assessment Unit for people with high additional needs, classified under the Health and Social Work Services industry (CPV 85000000). This direct award was granted to Cathena HealthCare Limited, situated in Loughton, Essex. The contract, valued at £8,000,000, was signed on 30th August 2024. This process follows a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice due to the absence of alternative suppliers who could meet the service requirements. The geographic focus for this project covers the UKH14 region, ensuring the delivery of essential services within this locality. The contract has a duration of two years, with a possible extension of up to a further two years, signifying Suffolk County Council's strategic focus on future market development within this sector.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those experienced in providing specialised care to individuals with high additional needs. SMEs, like Cathena HealthCare Limited, are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, leveraging their niche expertise to meet stringent service requirements. As part of Suffolk County Council's initiative to explore future opportunities across the sector, businesses that can demonstrate innovation and capacity for scaling their services will find this an advantageous venture. Participation in these contracts not only provides immediate business growth but also fosters long-term relationships with regional authorities, paving the way for future procurement opportunities.
