UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of homecare services, under a direct award arrangement, with a contract set to commence on 14th October 2025 and run until 31st March 2026. This procurement, categorized under 'Health and social work services' (CPV 85000000), addresses a critical statutory requirement to provide services for up to 3,000 people in Leicester, United Kingdom (region UKF21). The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, as of 31st July 2025, with the total contract value reaching £24,000,000. The direct award method was chosen under Schedule 5, paragraph 7, due to the necessity of maintaining existing service compatibility and avoiding operational difficulties for the council and its partners, including the NHS.

This tender provides significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in health and social care services. The procurement highlights the importance of continuity and innovation in service delivery, creating an advantageous position for existing suppliers and potential new entrants proposing compatible solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can particularly benefit from this opportunity, given the project's scale and impact on the regional care services landscape. Businesses with expertise in homecare services, crisis support, and end-of-life care are especially well-suited to cater to the comprehensive needs outlined by the Leicester City Council in this procurement.
