Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for a residential care placement was managed by Bedford Borough Council. This process falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services. The procurement method used was limited, justified by extreme urgency due to unforeseeable events affecting the contracting authority. The procurement stage is complete, with key elements occurring in 2025. Although the initial lot was cancelled, a contract was ultimately awarded, reflecting a direct award process without prior publication. The service location spans multiple regions, namely UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, with an emphasis on the United Kingdom health sector. The contract for this tender was signed on 31st January 2025 with a value of £88,088 GBP.

This procurement offers significant opportunities to businesses operating in the health and social care sector, particularly for those able to provide urgent and specialised residential care services. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Camanchi Care Limited, which was the successful supplier, are well-suited to engage in such direct, urgent tenders, provided they can meet the specific, immediate requirements set by the contracting authority. The limited procurement method underscores the need for businesses capable of swift and adaptive service delivery in response to urgent demands, creating avenues for growth by fulfilling critical care needs rapidly and efficiently.
