Summary of the contracting process

Slough Borough Council is engaged in a public procurement process for providing Care and Support Services at the Extra Care Housing Schemes in Slough. The procurement, which falls under the health and social work services industry category, has progressed through various stages including planning and tender. The council is seeking experienced providers to support two Extra Care Housing schemes located at The Pines and Northampton Place in Slough, designed primarily for older adults but also accommodating younger adults with specific needs. Initially awarded to Agincare UK Limited, the contract begins on 1 September 2026 and is set for three years with potential extensions up to 31 August 2031. Recently, the awarded bidder declined the contract, necessitating republishing the notice with the second-ranked bidder. Important dates include the contract signature deadline scheduled for 31 July 2026.

This procurement process offers substantial business growth opportunities for companies within the care and support services sector, particularly those experienced in integrating Core and Flex models in extra care settings. The open procedure procurement method fosters competition, providing an equitable platform for both established and emerging care service providers. Suitably qualified companies, particularly large-scale providers like Agincare UK Limited, known for handling significant contracts, may find this opportunity aligns with their capabilities to deliver high-quality services. As the process includes consideration for potential contract modifications due to increased service demand, flexible companies capable of scaling operations stand to benefit significantly.
