UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council has recently completed the "A006PA - Extra Care Care Tender" for the provision of on-site care and support services at Honeytree Court and Helen Court, two extra care schemes. These schemes cater to older individuals and those with disabilities who wish to live independently while having access to round-the-clock support. Located in the UKH3 region of the United Kingdom, the procurement process involved a selective and competitive flexible procedure, emphasising price, quality, and social value. The contract was awarded to HALES GROUP LIMITED, a large industry player, with a gross contract value of £3,275,000 for both lots combined. The contract period is from 18th September 2026 to 22nd September 2031, following a standstill period that ends on 19th June 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in supportive care services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive care tailored to the needs of older adults and persons with disabilities. Companies with experience in innovative care solutions, social inclusion promotion, and the use of technology in care settings would be well-suited to engage in such contracts. Additionally, the procurement's selective procedure requiring Care Quality Commission registration ensures that only qualified entities with a robust track record in care provision participate, fostering a competitive yet rewarding environment for expanding market presence in the social welfare services industry.
