Summary of the contracting process

The Worcestershire County Council has successfully completed its procurement process under the title "ASC25015 Minor Adaptations and Independence at Home Services," focusing on delivering essential social work and health services. This procurement, which took place in Worcester, UK, was part of the service industry's efforts to maintain community welfare. The process involved an open procedure allowing multiple businesses to bid. The award was made to Age UK Worcester, Malvern Hills & Hereford Localities T/A Age UK Wyvern on 28th November 2025, with an anticipated contract start date on 1st April 2026, potentially extending to 2031. The procurement process included two separate lots: Lot 1 for Minor Adaptations and Lot 2 for Independence at Home, with a combined contract value amounting to approximately £2.9 million gross.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities, particularly for those specialising in health and social services. It is especially beneficial for large-scale enterprises that have the capability to meet high contractual demands, such as Age UK Wyvern, which was successful in this instance. By engaging in such contracts, businesses gain an opportunity to expand their service footprint across county lines, provided they align with the specific requirements for minor adaptations and independent living services. Companies equipped to deliver short-term, compassionate, and tailored support programmes could leverage such tenders to strengthen their service portfolios and enhance their market presence within the UK’s public service sector.
