Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board, located in London, United Kingdom, is currently in the award stage of its procurement process for community health services. The intention is to award a contract to SSA Star Care Ltd under the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. This procurement method involves awarding without prior competition. The contract focuses on Continuing Healthcare home care services, with an expected duration of 12 months starting from 1 April 2025. Representations concerning this award are open until 8 July 2025.

This contract represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in community health services, particularly those specialising in home care, as it emphasises patient choice and continuity of care.
