Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, initiated by the London Borough of Hackney, involves a contract titled "Community Equipment Services" aimed at supporting independence, hospital discharge, and care at home for both adults and children. This contract falls under the health and social work services category. It is set in Hackney, United Kingdom, and the procurement stage is complete as of 19th September 2025. The procurement method used was a direct award due to extreme urgency, following the unexpected cessation of services by the previous provider. The contract is set to commence on 22nd September 2025 and is scheduled to run until 21st September 2027, with a potential extension for another 12 months depending on performance.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in healthcare and social work services. With a contract value of £10,000,000, such opportunities are particularly appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Provide Care Solutions Limited, which was awarded the contract. The need for continuity in providing critical statutory services ensures that there's a well-defined demand, making this contract beneficial for businesses capable of delivering health-related community equipment and support services, ensuring growth and stability in a sustainable market.

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.

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.
