Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board is procuring community health and social care services, specifically Continuing Healthcare (CHC) home care for one or more existing service-user placements. The service involves providing care in service users’ homes where individuals are eligible for NHS-funded Continuing Healthcare. It is a service contract rather than a goods or construction requirement. The procurement is classified as community health services, with related classifications for home medical treatment and health and social work services. The buying organisation is the NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board, based in London. The requirement is focused on continuity of care for existing placements and on maintaining home-based support for eligible service users.

The outcome records an award to Woodberry Care Ltd, an SME, under the Provider Selection Regime using Direct Award Process C, without a prior competition. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The proposed contract starts on 1 April 2026 and runs for 24 months, although individual placements may be shorter or longer depending on each service user’s Continuing Healthcare eligibility. The published weekly value is £12,430.49; no total award value applies because placement durations are not defined. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The decision prioritised patient choice, continuity of care and service quality; the existing provider was considered to be meeting the original contract adequately. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled.

This requirement indicates demand for established home-care providers able to deliver Continuing Healthcare support to existing service users, rather than a new service model or a one-off installation. A credible future competitor would need dependable operational capacity for individual home-care placements, the ability to manage changing eligibility and placement durations, and experience delivering care consistently in people’s homes. The stated decision basis shows that patient choice, continuity of care and service quality matter alongside the ability to meet the service specification. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate sustained performance under comparable arrangements, continuity for existing users, reliable care delivery and sufficient staffing and management systems to support multiple placements. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this scale can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider.
