Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process involves the NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board, which has awarded the contract for community health services to Bikur Cholim Ltd. Located in London, this procurement falls within the services category under the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) scheme. The award, finalised on 25th February 2025, was decided using a direct award process without a prior call for competition, leveraging the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The contract start date was 30th January 2025, with a weekly placement fee of £2,526.16. While the precise end date is not defined, continuity of care was a significant factor, as the supplier had previously provided services before the client’s CHC eligibility.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in community health services, particularly those with experience or interest in providing care to individuals eligible for Continuing Healthcare. The procurement process emphasises the continuity of care, hence businesses that have existing relationships within the CHC or similar services may have a competitive advantage. Small to medium enterprises capable of ensuring high standards of care and personalised service delivery could find significant growth opportunities in such contracts. The limited procurement method highlights the niche nature of this opportunity, which can especially benefit local providers familiar with the healthcare dynamics of the London region.
