Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) awarded a contract to BK Care Solutions Limited under the Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. The contract pertains to community health services, specifically home care, and aims to meet the placement criteria for an individual eligible for Continuing Healthcare (CHC). The contract was signed on 15 August 2024, spans from 26 July 2024 to 17 January 2025, and includes a weekly placement fee of £1,613.64. The procurement method used was a limited direct award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. This decision to award was made by the CIC Assistant Director on 31 July 2024, with the aim of ensuring continuity of care for the service user.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in home care services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) familiar with the NHS Continuing Healthcare system. BK Care Solutions Limited, an SME based in Borehamwood, was chosen for its ability to provide consistent and high-quality care, which had been previously experienced by the client before becoming CHC eligible. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong track record in personalised healthcare, continuity of care, and an ability to meet regulatory requirements under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities.
