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. The requirement is social care with accommodation, covering the provision of residential care to people assessed as eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based at Ferguson House, 15 Marylebone Road, London. The requirement relates to existing placements rather than a new residential care service or general health and social care provision. It is intended to support continuity of care for current service users through an existing residential care provider.

The procurement used the Provider Selection Regime and a direct award process without prior publication of a competition. The buyer selected Bupa Limited as the existing provider. The award decision date was 16 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The proposed contract starts on 1 April 2026 and has a 24-month duration, although individual placements may be shorter or longer depending on service-user eligibility. The current payment is £1,247 per week; no total award value applies. The decision prioritised patient choice, continuity of care and service quality. One bid was recorded. The lot is marked cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This requirement suits residential care home operators able to provide accommodation-based care for people receiving NHS Continuing Healthcare. Credible suppliers would need to demonstrate that they can maintain safe, consistent placements for existing service users and deliver care to a standard that supports patient choice, continuity and service quality. Experience of working with NHS commissioners and managing eligibility-dependent placements would be relevant, as would the operational capacity to accommodate placements whose duration can vary. The procurement also indicates that the buyer may use a direct award route where an existing provider is performing satisfactorily and is expected to continue meeting the required standard. Competitors should therefore be able to evidence quality, continuity and reliable residential care delivery.
