UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Bedford Borough Council focuses on the provision of 24/7 live-in care services, targeting welfare services for children and young people. This procurement falls under the industry category of services and is situated in the UKH24 region, representing an urgent response to the breakdown of previous care delivery. The procurement was executed through a direct method without competition due to its urgency and below-threshold nature, classified under the light-touch regime. The procurement stage is complete, with the award granted to Eximius Refined Live-in Care on the 4th of November 2025, and the contract is set to run until 5th November 2027.

This opportunity presents significant potential for growth, especially for businesses specialising in welfare services for children and young people. Companies that have experience and the necessary capabilities to provide care services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, are well-suited to compete for such tenders in the future. By understanding and adapting to the needs of sub-central government authorities, businesses can leverage such contract opportunities for sustainable growth and expansion within the public service domain.
