Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board is procuring continuing healthcare (CHC) residential nursing care for existing service-user placements. The requirement is for a residential care home service, including social work services with accommodation, delivered in London. The service supports people assessed as eligible for NHS-funded Continuing Healthcare, with individual placements continuing according to each service user’s eligibility. The buyer is the NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board, based in London. The selected provider is Priscilla Wakefield House, a London-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to residential nursing and care home operators able to deliver continuing healthcare placements and associated accommodation-based social care.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Priscilla Wakefield House was selected through a direct award under Provider Selection Regime procedure C, without a prior call for competition. The award decision date is 21 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The proposed NHS Standard Contract runs for 24 months from 1 April 2026. Individual placements may be shorter or longer because their duration depends on service-user eligibility. Current weekly payments are £38,984.40; no total award value applies because placement durations and lifetime value are undefined. The buyer prioritised patient choice, continuity of care and service quality. The published lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are active.

This outcome indicates continuing demand from the buyer for residential nursing and care home provision for people receiving Continuing Healthcare. A credible future competitor would need to operate a residential care home capable of supporting existing service-user placements, provide accommodation-based social care, and deliver care to a standard that satisfies NHS commissioning expectations. The buyer’s decision places particular importance on patient choice, continuity of care and service quality, so providers should be able to demonstrate reliable ongoing care and a smooth service-user experience. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only by a large national care group. Relevant businesses include London residential nursing homes and care operators experienced in NHS-funded CHC placements.
