Summary of the contracting process

The Borough of Telford & Wrekin procured health and social care services for a six-bed enablement care unit at Stirchley House, within an extra-care scheme in Telford and Wrekin. The service supports people discharged from hospital who need both housing and intermediate care, with the aim of maintaining their independence. It covers personal care, daytime support and reassurance support, together with cleaning, shopping and night-time peace-of-mind assistance. The provider must work closely with the extra-care scheme, respond to changing needs, support multidisciplinary team meetings and GP visits, prepare rooms between residents, and transfer staff flexibly across the building. The arrangement is integrated with the privately owned scheme and its housing provider’s in-house care operation.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Borough used a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition, through an established dynamic purchasing system. The stated rationale was that integration with the extra-care scheme, staffing flexibility and continuity for hospital discharge referrals could not be delivered by another supplier. GP Homecare Ltd trading as Radis Community Care was awarded the call-off agreement for the requirement. The contract value is £411,776.40 including the published contract amount in GBP, and it was signed on 20 August 2026. The initial term is one year, with options to extend one year at a time for up to a further two years, giving a maximum possible duration of three years. Price was the award criterion. The process records one bid.

This outcome indicates demand for providers able to deliver integrated intermediate care within an extra-care housing environment, rather than stand-alone domiciliary care. A credible competitor would need trained staff who can provide personal care, reassurance and practical household support across six beds, while flexing contact hours between residents as needs change. Capacity for extended daily coverage, including weekends and evening hours, is central to the operating model. Relevant experience should include hospital discharge pathways, enablement-based care, maintaining independence, multidisciplinary working and liaison with GPs. Suppliers would also need to manage room preparation, respond quickly to changing care needs and redeploy staff within a wider extra-care building. The procurement route and rationale show that operational integration, continuity and staffing flexibility are decisive, alongside price.

Procurement Information

We have an established Dynamic Purchasing System within the area in which the supplier is a part of. The building where the services will be delivered is privately owned and the housing provider appointed their own in house care provider to cater for the building. The contract requires integration with the extra care scheme in terms of fluidity, flexibility and transference of staffing within the scheme. No other supplier is able to deliver this flexibility with the scheme where this is based. Procuring any other supplier for this service will have a detrimental effect on the service delivery, incur unnecessary costs and ultimately affect the support and quality of care being provided. With the nature of the referrals from the hospital discharge teams, the continuity of service is of paramount importance to the success of this contract.
