Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Haringey has successfully concluded a procurement process for the "Integrated Community Equipment Service," awarding the contract to Provide Care Solutions Limited. This procurement involves the provision of community equipment to facilitate independence, support hospital discharges, and enable home care for adults and children. The procurement falls under the 'Health and social work services' category and encompasses supply, maintenance, and collection of necessary items. Notably, this contract was awarded through a direct process due to urgent statutory needs arising from the previous provider's notice to cease operations. The contract commences on 22nd September 2025, running until 22nd September 2027, with a potential one-year extension option. The contract is based in the United Kingdom and is valued at £10.8 million gross.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with capabilities in delivering essential community equipment solutions under tight timelines. The contract addresses crucial healthcare delivery and support services, ideal for SMEs that can ensure rapid mobilisation and continuity in service provisioning. Such contracts not only offer financial growth potential but also the opportunity to engage in service delivery critical to public welfare, enhancing business credentials in the public health sector. Providers with experience in managing transitions in healthcare services and addressing rapid deployment requirements would be well-suited to meet these high-priority demands effectively.

Notice Title

Integrated Community Equipment Service

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 and service pursuant to the Care Act 2014. The existing provider has notified the Council that they will cease trading from 15 September 2025 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 Haringey. The Council has considered all options and has concluded that due to this extreme urgency a directly awarded contract under Section 41 and Sections 13 and 14 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 to Provide Care Solutions Ltd should be made.

Risks include potential delays in service mobilisation, supply chain disruption, and gaps in equipment availability or maintenance during the transition. These could impact hospital discharge timelines, people's ability to live independently, and safeguarding outcomes. Mitigation measures include a phased transition with interim 'patchwork' arrangements, contingency planning for high-priority equipment.",
