Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board procured continuing healthcare (CHC) residential care home services for one or more existing service-user placements. The requirement covers residential nursing care, social care with accommodation and welfare services for disabled people. The service is intended to provide ongoing residential care for people who meet the NHS’s CHC eligibility requirements, with individual placements determined by each service user’s circumstances. The buying organisation is based in London, and the named existing provider, Fonthill House, operates from St Albans, Hertfordshire. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction, and is focused on maintaining existing care placements through a residential care home provider.

The process is recorded as complete, with Fonthill House selected and the contract shown as active. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and is scheduled to start on 1 April 2026 for 24 months. Individual placement lengths may be shorter or longer because they depend on each service user’s CHC eligibility. The current weekly payment is £7,000; no total award value or lifetime placement value applies. The buyer used the Provider Selection Regime and Direct Award Process C, without a prior competition, rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Decision-making prioritised patient choice, continuity of care and service quality. The single lot is marked cancelled, despite the active award and contract records. One bid was recorded, from an SME.

This requirement demonstrates demand for residential CHC provision from an NHS integrated care board, including care-home capacity for existing service users and the ability to manage placements whose duration depends on individual eligibility. A credible competitor would need an operational residential care home, suitable nursing and social-care capability, and the capacity to provide accommodation-based support for disabled people. Evidence of delivering the existing service reliably would be important, because the buyer’s stated decision relied on continuity of care, patient choice and service quality, while the selection rationale referred to the incumbent meeting the original contract to a sufficient standard. Smaller providers can compete for this type of requirement, as the recorded supplier and sole bidder were an SME.
