Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council has completed a procurement process for services related to social work, specifically focused on the Eccleshare Care & Nursing Home operated by Country Court Care Homes Limited. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold and executed without competition. Located in the United Kingdom's East of England region, this contract commenced on 17th October 2025 and is set to conclude on 1st October 2035. The procurement falls under the public authority - sub-central government category, and its completion was formally documented on 31st October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the social care services sector, particularly those with a focus on elderly care and nursing services. Companies that can provide comprehensive care management solutions and demonstrate excellence in service delivery would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities. As the procurement was executed without competition under a direct award method, businesses should be prepared to engage directly with contracting authorities like local councils to explore potential future collaborations and partnerships. This approach can be fruitful for large-scale organisations seeking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts.
