Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council has completed a public procurement process for a negotiated contract for the provision of interim care homes. The contract was awarded to Keane Premier Healthcare Limited, and it aims to enhance the flow of people leaving hospital by increasing interim placements within care homes, a necessity due to heightened demands. The procurement falls under the category of general public services and is located in South Lanarkshire, specifically Hamilton, UKM95. The procurement method utilised was limited, justified under Standing Order 10.4a, which acknowledges the sole capability of the provider to meet the specific needs identified by the South Lanarkshire Council. The contract commenced on 4th December 2025 and is set to conclude on 4th March 2026. The agreement was signed on 10th February 2026, with a contract value of £72,902.05.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare provision, particularly those specialising in care home services. Large-scale providers with expertise in handling transitional care facilities will find this contract well aligned with their capabilities. While the contract has already been awarded without prior competition due to the unique requirements and limited eligible providers, similar opportunities may emerge as local authorities continue to address the increased demand for healthcare services in their jurisdictions. Future tenders could benefit businesses aiming to expand their operations within the UKM95 region, especially those focusing on innovative solutions to manage hospital discharges and care home placements. Businesses adept at negotiating contracts under unique procedural justifications may find this sector promising for growth.
