The tender pertains to the services industry and is located in the region UKI41 in London.

The Home and Settle Service offers a significant opportunity for voluntary sector businesses specialising in non-regulated support services. The service facilitates adults’ transition from hospital to home by providing practical, low-level support, making it ideal for organisations equipped with trained volunteers who can assist in enhancing independence and community-based recovery. Businesses in the community health domain that focus on delivering social value, improving access, reducing health inequalities, and fostering innovation might find this contract especially beneficial for growth and establishing a foothold in service delivery within the public sector. Participation in this tender not only aligns with similar organisational goals but also supports business visibility and collaboration with local authorities.

Notice Title

Home and Settle Service

Notice Description

This is a notice of the Authority's intention to award the proposed contract for the Service to the existing provider pursuant to Regulation 9 (3) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, Direct Award Process C. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award and neither does Procurement Act 2023. The Home and Settle Service operates as a non regulated support service, meaning it does not require delivery by a CQC registered provider. Its purpose is to assist adults with limited local support networks to return home safely and re establish daily routines after hospital discharge, without providing any form of personal care. Because the service focuses solely on practical, low level support, it is well suited to delivery within the voluntary sector, where trained volunteers can contribute to tasks that enhance independence, social connection, and community based recovery.
