UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has completed a procurement process for an out-of-city Shared Lives placement service, awarding the contract to PSS (UK). The procurement, focused on health and social work services, pertains to the out-of-area care provided in Staffordshire for three customers requiring Shared Lives carer services, which the Derby City Shared Lives team cannot deliver locally. The process followed a direct, below-threshold method without competition, and falls under a light-touch regime. The contract commenced on 20th March 2026 and will run until 20th September 2027, with a total value of £108,000. The location for this procurement covers the UK's UKF11 region, with the award notice published on 23rd April 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those offering Shared Lives carer programmes. Large-scale providers with the capability to deliver specialised care services in out-of-area arrangements are ideally suited to benefit from this kind of procurement, helping expand their scope and reach within the health and social care sector. With the contract valued at £108,000, providers with experience in handling similar services have the chance to establish themselves within the public sector, ensuring a steady flow of business and enhancing their service portfolio through public authority collaborations.
