Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board is procuring continuing healthcare (CHC) residential care home services for one or more existing service-user placements at Hampstead Court Care Home. The requirement is a social work and accommodation service, covering residential care for people eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare. The arrangement supports existing placements and is intended to provide continuity of care, patient choice and suitable service quality. Delivery is associated with the care home and the wider NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board area in London. The appointed provider is Avery Healthcare Group Limited, a residential care operator based in Northampton. The procurement is categorised as health and social care services, with accommodation included.

The process used the Provider Selection Regime and a Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The tender is recorded as complete, with Avery Healthcare Group Limited named as the selected supplier and one bid received. The intention-to-award notice states that the contract had not yet formally been awarded and allowed written representations by 28 July 2026; a contract is recorded as signed on 16 July 2026. The proposed contract starts on 1 April 2026 and runs for 24 months, although individual placements may be shorter or longer depending on patient eligibility. The weekly value is £9,164.96. The decision prioritised patient choice, continuity of care and service quality; the existing provider’s satisfactory performance was the stated basis for selection.

This procurement indicates demand for residential care capacity able to support NHS Continuing Healthcare placements under the NHS Standard Contract. A credible future competitor would need to operate an appropriate care home service, manage placements for service users whose eligibility may change, and deliver care consistently across placements of differing lengths. Evidence of satisfactory residential care performance, continuity of care and service quality would be important, because these were central to the buyer’s decision. Providers should also understand the Provider Selection Regime and its direct-award routes, and be able to work with an integrated care board on patient choice, placement management and ongoing service delivery. The requirement is suited to established care operators with suitable accommodation, qualified care teams and the capacity to maintain reliable NHS-funded placements.
