UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council commissioned a nursing-led matron service for care homes. The provider supports homes with the highest numbers of hospital admissions among their residents, signposting them to available training and developing or delivering training with each home. The training covers areas such as preventing falls and carrying out delegated health tasks. This is a targeted service for care homes whose residents are frequent hospital users, combining practical health-related training with guidance on training opportunities. The work is in the nursing services category (CPV 85141200).

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Leicestershire County Council made a direct award without competition under a below-threshold route. Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £39,960 excluding VAT (£47,952 including VAT). The procurement was not divided into separately described lots. The published data identifies no award evaluation basis or eligibility requirements.

The award demonstrates demand from Leicestershire County Council for nursing expertise that can work with care homes serving residents with high hospital-admission rates. A credible provider for a future requirement would need to support care homes directly, identify relevant training needs with staff, and develop or deliver practical instruction in subjects such as falls prevention and delegated health tasks. The service also calls for the ability to signpost homes to suitable training, rather than relying only on delivering a fixed course. The selected provider was Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, indicating that an NHS trust delivered the service. Suppliers with relevant nursing capability and experience engaging with care homes and health-related training would be well placed to demonstrate their fit.
