UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden has completed the award stage of a public procurement process titled "Integrated Community Equipment Services." This contract involves the provision of healthcare-related services focusing on community equipment for adults and children to support independence and hospital discharge. The procurement process was initiated through a direct award owing to urgent circumstances, with direct procurement methods employed under the Procurement Act 2023. The services will be delivered in the UKI31 region, covering London, with a contract period beginning on 22 September 2025 and potentially extending until 21 September 2028. The contract, valued at approximately £10.3 million, has been actively awarded to PROVIDE CARE SOLUTIONS LIMITED, effective from 22 September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the healthcare equipment and service sector, particularly those specialising in the provision, maintenance, and logistical handling of medical equipment. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of ensuring rapid deployment and continuity of critical healthcare services could find advantageous prospects within such contracts. Given the necessity to replace a liquidated provider, businesses that can demonstrate reliability and capacity under tight deadlines are particularly well-suited to contribute to similar procurement needs in the public sector. This procurement highlights the potential for nurturing long-term partnerships with local government bodies in response to statutory obligations.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Integrated Community Equipment Services

Notice Description

Provision of community equipment to support independence, hospital discharge, and care at home for adults and children. Includes supply, maintenance, and collection of items.

Procurement Information

The Council has a statutory duty to provide the integrated community equipment service pursuant to the Care Act 2014. The existing provider notified the Council that they were being placed into liquidation and would cease trading, and therefore cease providing these services to the Council. Due to the short notice provided by the incumbent provider it is impossible to commission a new contract within the relevant timescales and ensure continuity of service. It is necessary for the Council to urgently award a replacement contract to secure continuity of these critical statutory services in Camden. The Council has considered all options and have concluded that due to this extreme urgency a directly awarded contract under Section 41 and paragraphs 13 and 14 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 to Provide Care Solutions Limited should be made.
