Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council has completed the procurement process for an Assisted Living residence for individuals over 65 years of age, classified under the health and social work services industry category. The procurement method was limited, involving an award procedure without prior publication due to extreme urgency. The process began on 3rd December 2024 and is set to conclude on 3rd December 2026. Although the procurement stage is now complete, it highlights a strategic decision reflecting the needs within multiple UK regions, such as UKC, UKD, UKE, and others, to address urgent health and social care service requirements.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those capable of addressing urgent requirements. Enterprises equipped to provide specialised services for assisted living situations, such as Edwardian Care Homes, which succeeded in securing this contract valued at £106,704, would find similar opportunities advantageous. Companies that are small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and can offer competitive pricing in the face of strict time constraints are well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities within the regional public service sphere.
