Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Wirral Council concerns the provision of a "Care & Support at Home - Mobile Nights" service. This domiciliary care service, operating during night-time hours (10:00 PM to 7:00 AM), seeks to support individuals in their homes and prevent hospital admissions. The procurement, categorised under health and social work services, was initially in the planning stage in March 2025, moved into the tender stage by April 2025, and concluded with an award in September 2025. Located in the Wirral, United Kingdom, this procurement employed an open procedure under a 'light touch' regime, with a contract value grossing £7,700,000, and allows for renewals up to 2030.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in health and social care services. SMEs, particularly those with a focus on domiciliary and night-time care provisions, would be well-suited to compete given the service requirements of planned and unplanned care. By securing contracts within this sector, businesses can expand their operational capacities and establish stronger community ties. The procurement process invited a variety of tenderers to submit bids, demonstrating a competitive environment that emphasizes quality, commercial viability, and social value commitments.
