Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council recently completed a procurement process for the provision of residential children's homes targeting children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism. This open procurement procedure was classified under the "Health and social work services" industry category, with a CPV code of 85000000. The contracting process was conducted to fulfil two lots, namely "Woodland View – Six Beds" and "Ingles – Two Beds," located in the region UKH23. The initial procurement phase was completed with an award announced on 11 June 2025, following a tender submission deadline on 28 October 2024. The tender stage was characterised by an open procedure, allowing electronic and written submissions.

The awarded contract, specifically for "Woodland View," was secured by MacIntyre Care, with an active status and a signed value of approximately £13.1 million. The tender presented lucrative business opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with experience in providing specialised residential care. Businesses focusing on quality and cost-effective services were well-suited to compete, given the tender evaluation criteria emphasised 60% on quality and 40% on price. Despite the potential foreseen in "Ingles" as well, its status was marked unsuccessful, showcasing the competitive environment and the need for strategic positioning by interested suppliers.
