Summary of the contracting process

The 24/7 Emergency Care Package for a young person with very complex care needs was procured by Halton Borough Council, a sub-central government authority located in Widnes, UK. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract being signed on 9th April 2025, and the service provision period extending from 14th April to 2nd June 2025. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically within the health and social work services, and was conducted through a direct method without competition, classified as light touch and below threshold. The main location for the service delivery is within the UKD71 region.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those specialising in healthcare services, as demonstrated by the award to Fidelis Healthcare, an SME based in London. Companies with the capability to provide specialised health and social care services can find growth potential by participating in similar future procurement processes. As the procurement method used was direct, entities that can demonstrate unique or specific capabilities in complex care provision may find themselves well-suited to compete for similar direct awards or light-touch procurement opportunities.
