Summary of the contracting process

The Borough of Telford & Wrekin commissioned residential and nursing care for an individual older person, with the placement location chosen to reflect that person’s wishes. The service covers accommodation and day-to-day support, including personal care, help with meals and drinks, medication, laundry, lighting and heating. Residents must have a bedroom for their sole use, with an en-suite or shared bathroom, and access to communal rooms and outdoor areas. The requirement is for a complete care-home placement rather than a standalone support service. The work is associated with Telford and Wrekin in Shropshire. The service falls within social work and related services (CPV 85300000).

The procurement is complete and RS Care Homes Limited was selected for the contract. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award value is £436,800. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2034; its terms are continuous and rolling, and it ends when all individual placements made under it have ended. The process was organised as one lot, which was marked suitable for SMEs. The award records the selected supplier and contract value; no separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible providers will need to deliver a full residential care-home placement for an older person, including accommodation, personal care, meals, medication support, laundry and help with daily living. The service also calls for suitable bedrooms and shared facilities, such as communal rooms and outdoor space, with the flexibility to meet an individual’s needs and location preferences. Providers should be able to sustain care on ongoing rolling terms and coordinate the end of service with individual placement agreements. The buyer selected an SME through a direct award without competition for this requirement, showing that a smaller specialist provider can meet its needs; this does not establish that the same route will be used again.
