Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Nottingham City Council, involves the awarding of a contract titled "CPU 8012 Social Care in Prison," which focuses on the delivery of personal care to adults with social care (ASC) eligibility while detained in prison. This contract falls under the industry category of health and social work services, with a focus on services. The procurement stage is currently at the Award and Contract stage, with the contract being active as of 1st July 2026, and is set to end on 30th June 2027. The procurement method employed was a direct, below-threshold process conducted without competition, adhering to a light-touch regime. The contract serves multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those geared toward providing social care in correctional facilities. As this contract was awarded directly due to its below-threshold nature, future similar tenders could benefit companies that are agile and equipped with capabilities to cater to specialised care needs within prison settings. Businesses that are large scale like Comfort Call Limited, or those with a substantial track record in delivering robust social care services, may find themselves well-suited for similar procurement opportunities, given the scope and regulatory requirements of such contracts. The focus on providing comprehensive personal care in such highly regulated environments underscores the necessity for experienced and reliable service providers.
