UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney has awarded a contract for "Community Equipment Services" under a direct award procurement method. The contract entails providing community equipment to encourage independence, assist with hospital discharges, and care at home for both adults and children. The buyer, London Borough of Hackney, is a sub-central government public authority situated in London, UK. This recently completed procurement process ensures the supply, maintenance, and collection of necessary equipment, with the contract active from 16 July 2026 to 21 September 2027, with a potential 12-month extension. The legal basis for the contract follows the UKPGA 2023/54, and the notice was published on 2 July 2026, following a technical delay.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social work services, especially those with expertise in supplying, maintaining, and collecting community equipment. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) similar to the awarded supplier, PROVIDE CARE SOLUTIONS LIMITED, can leverage this opportunity for growth by fulfilling critical statutory services in Hackney. Companies with a robust capability in health-related equipment services and quick adaptability to direct award situations are well-suited to compete for similar contracts, particularly in restricted or urgent market environments. The contract aligns with a 'light touch' regime, offering further flexibility and renewal potential subject to performance.

Notice Information

Notice Title

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. This Contract Award Notice was originally submitted for publication on 23 September 2025. Due to a technical synchronisation error during the submission process, the notice failed to publish at that time. This entry serves as the corrected publication to ensure full transparency and compliance with reporting requirements. The contract was signed on 23 September 2025 and the contract start date was 24 September 2025.

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 have ceased trading from 15 September 2025 and therefore ceased 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 Hackney. The Council has considered all options and have 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 should be made.
