UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council has initiated a planning process for a tender titled "Preliminary Market Engagement - Older People Care and Property Survey." The focus is on the health and social work services industry, specifically residential nursing care services. The location for this procurement is within the regions UKI32 and UKI33 in the United Kingdom. The current stage is planning, with a significant milestone set for market engagement responses due by 18th October 2025. This process will further lead to the appointment of a care and support provider for a residential and nursing care home for older people. The procurement is characterised under a special "light touch" regime and is above the threshold, indicating it's a significant opportunity for qualified service providers.

This tender provides a notable opportunity for businesses in the health and social care sector, with specific suitability for SMEs and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). As Westminster City Council is looking for expertise in care and support provision, providers with a strong track record in delivering high-quality residential and nursing care can significantly benefit. The opportunity allows businesses to contribute to a critical area of public service, potentially securing a contract that runs from April 2027 to March 2032, with possibilities for renewal. Engagement in this preliminary stage can position a business strategically for future collaborations.
