UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Camden commissioned services to develop detailed cost models for care homes across North Central London. The work is a research consultancy assignment, classified under CPV 73210000, focused on understanding and modelling the costs associated with care-home provision. Camden is the buying organisation and the requirement concerns the North Central London area. The scope is analytical rather than construction, facilities management or direct care delivery: it is intended for suppliers able to investigate care-home costs and produce detailed modelling for public-sector decision-making. Businesses with experience in care-sector economics, cost analysis, research consultancy or similar evidence-based modelling would recognise this as the relevant type of work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly, below the applicable threshold and without competition. One lot was completed. The contract was awarded to Care Analytics (UK) Ltd on 13 August 2026, with an active contract running from 13 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £45,000 excluding VAT and £54,000 including VAT. The buyer is London Borough of Camden. The selected supplier is an SME. The requirement was evaluated through a direct-award route rather than an open tender, so there was no competitive bid process for this procurement. The award remains active and the contract has been signed.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist care-home cost modelling within London Borough of Camden’s commissioning environment. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would combine research consultancy with robust financial and operational analysis, and would understand how care homes incur, allocate and explain costs. Credible competitors would need to turn evidence into detailed, defensible models that public-sector users can apply to care-market decisions, rather than provide generic market research or routine accounting. Relevant experience in adult social care, care-home operations, provider economics, benchmarking, data analysis and stakeholder research would strengthen a future proposition. The award to an SME also shows that the requirement can suit a focused specialist consultancy, provided it has the necessary care-sector expertise and analytical capacity.
