Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council procured an interim health and social care service providing 10 Pathway 2 rehabilitation beds at Swan House in Walsall. The requirement supports people needing rehabilitation and care after an acute hospital stay, with bed-based provision forming part of the council’s intermediate care pathway. The procurement is for services rather than goods, works or construction. Delivery is centred on Swan House and serves the Walsall area. The selected provider, Absolute Healthcare Swan House Limited, operates from Mansfield and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The arrangement is focused on rehabilitation-bed capacity and associated health and social work provision for the council’s service users.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition under the light-touch regime. Absolute Healthcare Swan House Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed and started on 1 June 2026, with an initial end date of 30 September 2026 and a maximum possible end date of 30 November 2026. It includes renewal provision of two one-month periods. The contract value is £267,240.39 excluding VAT, or £320,688.47 including VAT. The award concerns all 10 rehabilitation beds. The recorded procurement status is complete and the contract status is active, with the provider responsible for delivering the service at Swan House.

This procurement demonstrates continuing public-sector demand in Walsall for bed-based Pathway 2 rehabilitation and intermediate care. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would be able to operate or manage suitable rehabilitation-bed accommodation, support people moving from hospital into recovery, and provide the associated health and social work services. Credibility would depend on having sufficient staffed capacity for 10 beds, robust clinical and care management, safe discharge and rehabilitation processes, and the operational resilience to deliver an interim arrangement. Experience of working with a local authority and hospital discharge or community-care pathways would be relevant. The selected provider’s SME status also indicates that this scale can be delivered by a smaller specialist organisation.
