Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council has completed the procurement process for a tender titled "Provision of support and personal day care Services for People living with Dementia," awarded to Methodist Homes (MHA). The tender, operating under the Health and Social Work Services industry category, aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals with dementia by providing a supportive day care service in Leeds, United Kingdom (Region: UKE42). The procurement process was conducted via a direct award method due to technical reasons, with key dates marking the standstill period ending on 9th July 2026, and the contract commencing on 10th July 2026, with potential extensions up to June 2031. The project, valued at approximately £928,950, aligns with the light-touch regime under legislation UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in dementia care. Companies in this field can leverage the contract not only to provide essential support services but also to solidify their presence in the Leeds area. The award to MHA, a large VCSE organisation, underscores the potential for growth among enterprises that can deliver high-quality, person-centred care and navigate technical and space-related service delivery challenges. Businesses capable of offering similar bespoke services, especially in the health and social care sector, may find ongoing and future opportunities to engage with municipal contracts aimed at community health enhancements.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of support and personal day care Services for People living with Dementia

Notice Description

The aim of the service is to support people with dementia to live independently by providing a day care service which: reduces social isolation; provides activity & occupation in a person-centred and meaningful way for each individual; acts as a "gateway" to further support; improves health and wellbeing; and offers a break for unpaid family / other carers. It will thereby improve the quality of life for the individuals and carers.

Procurement Information

Pursuant to section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Council may directly award a contract where a relevant direct award justification applies. The direct award justifications are set out in Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act. In this instance, the Council relies upon Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5, which states that: The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract-- (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The Council is satisfied that the provisions set out above have been met for the following reasons: It is clear from the unpaid carer consultation responses, enclosed at Appendix 2, that the service required is this specific service at Bay Tree Resource Centre, and not a day care service at different premises. The evidence for this includes the importance of the environment and space considerations at the premises, and the adverse impact of a change of premises. This rationale - for continuing with the same provider, at the premises that the provider owns, and built using their own fundraising - is aligned to the rationale for sustaining the service and not asking people to move to a Council Complex Needs Centre. It is not considered reasonable to offer alternatives to this service, given the consultation responses. Additional technical difficulties include the lack of availability of other purpose-built premises in the north-east Leeds area; and the costs involved in design and build (which would be considerably more that PS800K at current prices).
