Summary of the contracting process

The NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board has issued an intention to award a contract to the Avery Healthcare Group Limited for the provision of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) services at Elton House Care Home. This procurement falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) subject to the Health Care Services Regulations 2023, omitting the usual Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the contract expected to formally commence on 1st April 2026, lasting for 24 months. The transaction involves social work services with accommodation primarily in the UK region, focusing on patient choice and service quality as primary criteria. A standstill period is in effect, concluding on 20th July 2026, for representations.

This tender opens substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those with expertise in residential care and CHC services. Given the direct award process and the tailored nature of CHC service requirements, businesses that can demonstrate exceptional service quality and continuity in healthcare provision will benefit. The procurement method, a limited direct award without a preceding public competition, signifies a niche opportunity for providers already engaged with or capable of aligning with specific healthcare service networks. The fixed weekly payment of £1,800 provides financial stability, thus appealing to small and medium-sized enterprises seeking predictable revenue streams within the healthcare sector.
