Summary of the contracting process

The Western Health and Social Care Trust is proceeding with the Provision of Domiciliary Care Services in the Western Trust Area, covering health and social work services. The procurement process, currently in the contract amendment stage, involves enhancing domiciliary care services without altering the fundamental nature of the contract. These adjustments include extending the contract period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026 and revising the hourly rate to £21.35 as of 1st April 2025. This initiative addresses the evolving financial requirements directed by the Department of Health to adapt to the National Living Wage and National Insurance contribution changes. The updated contract value post-modification is £42,580,353, reflecting an ongoing commitment to sustaining vital services in the UKN0 region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in community and personal health services to engage with a key regional player in public health. The predictable nature of the domiciliary care service, coupled with planned financial adjustments to accommodate wage increases, offers stability and growth potential for suppliers. Companies capable of meeting the logistical demands of health and social work services, particularly those experienced in managing wage adjustments and regulatory compliance, would find this tender particularly suitable. This continued partnership with the Western Health and Social Care Trust could enhance business portfolios, providing a sustained contractual relationship in the public sector.
