Summary of the contracting process

The NHS South East London Integrated Care Board has awarded the contract for "Care Home Practice Services" in Southwark, a part of London, focusing on residential nursing care services. The procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, utilising a direct award process. The procurement category is services, and the contract is scheduled to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The contract was awarded on 23rd April 2025, confirming the decision originally intended to be published by 8th April 2025. This award follows the selection of QHS GP Care Home Service as the service provider due to their satisfactory performance on previous contracts.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for organisations already operating within the healthcare services sector. Those with experience and capabilities in providing residential care services are well-positioned to compete, particularly organisations that can align with the key quality, integration, and sustainability criteria established by the NHS. Although this specific contract employed a limited procurement method without prior call for competition, businesses that can demonstrate capacity to meet rigorous NHS standards may have future opportunities to engage in similar contracts using the provider selection regime. Large-scale operators, familiar with the intricacies of the NHS service requirements and those located within the London area, will have a competitive edge in securing future contracts.
