Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board awarded a contract to World Care Services Ltd under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, circumventing the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This award uses a direct award process without prior call for competition. The contract, classified under the CPV scheme as "Home-help services," began on 6 November 2024 and concluded on 11 May 2025. The industry category is healthcare, and the services were rendered within the UK. This specific contract, relating to NHS Continuing Healthcare requirements, was marked as complete and initiated through a tender with awards confirmed on 12 November 2024.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses in the healthcare services sector, particularly those able to provide niche home-help services, as demonstrated by the selection of an SME, World Care Services Ltd, due to their suitability and the patient's or next of kin's request. Small to medium enterprises with the capability to offer customised and expedited healthcare solutions may find similar procurement processes advantageous. The specific procurement method, limited and without open call, suggests that businesses with established local or regional ties and those who can directly engage with the NHS's integrated care boards are well-placed for such opportunities.
