Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council’s Live Well at Home and in the Community pilot is a homecare and community-based support service for people in the borough’s South locality. It tests a more outcomes-focused way of delivering care, with providers working closely with named social workers, voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) partners, and NHS services. The aim is to improve outcomes for people using the services against a new Pilot Outcomes Framework. The procurement covers health and social work services, delivered in Walsall. It was arranged as one lot, so the requirement was not divided into separately awarded service packages.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Caring Care Limited. Walsall Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 12 March 2026, with a stated period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its original value is £360,000 excluding VAT (£432,000 including VAT). A proposed amendment dated 13 October 2026 sets out a revised value of £324,000 excluding VAT (£388,800 including VAT), and a revised period starting 13 October 2026; this amendment is proposed rather than recorded as completed. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated evaluation approach and eligibility requirements are not included in the published process information.

For providers preparing for a future Walsall Council requirement of this kind, the award demonstrates demand for coordinated homecare and community-based support delivered through a more outcomes-focused model. Credible suppliers would need the operational capacity to provide care across the South locality and the ability to work effectively with named social workers, VCSE partners and NHS services. They would also need to show how their delivery can improve outcomes for people and align with an outcomes framework, rather than relying only on activity-based provision. The buyer selected a provider through limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant health and social care capability and evidence of partnership working within that route. The contract provides a practical example of the scale of service commissioned by this council.
