Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) across London plan to open the Pan-London Nursing Homes Any Qualified Provider (AQP) contract to new applicants. This initiative encompasses five ICBs: NHS North Central London, North East London, North West London, South East London, and South West London, all overseeing the provision of nursing home services for adults in CQC-registered facilities. The procurement, which falls under the category of health and social work services, will be managed via the CarePulse eProcurement platform with applications accepted starting from 10 March 2025 on an ongoing basis. Although there is no guaranteed volume of activity for the providers, this procurement aims to compile a list of eligible nursing homes for NHS Continuing Healthcare placements, particularly fast-track cases.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating CQC-registered nursing homes in and around London to become recognised providers for NHS services. The contract can drive growth by granting access to a consistent stream of service requests through the pan-London AQP list. Ideal candidates for this tender are established nursing home providers seeking to expand their client base within the healthcare sector. Interested businesses should prepare to navigate the detailed Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process and ensure compliance with the required standards to leverage this strategic opportunity for business expansion.
