West Berkshire District Council, Bracknell Forest Borough Council, Slough Borough Council, Reading Borough Council, Wokingham Borough Council, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, NHS Frimley Integrated Care Board and NHS Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire & West Berkshire Integrated Care Board (BCES Partners) have statutory duties to provide community equipment services for people with health and social care needs. The awarded supplier shall contract with West Berkshire District Council, as the lead commissioner, on behalf of the BCES Partners. The services will cover the supply, installation and maintenance of mobility and daily living aids and adaptations. The services provide high quality equipment, aids and/or adaptations that enable residents to remain at home rather than requiring formal social and healthcare support.", "status": "complete", "procurementMethod": "direct", "procurementMethodDetails": "Direct award", "procurementMethodRationale": "The Council was notified at the end of June 2025 of a possible event occurring on or before 31 July 2025, which, if it were to happen as notified, would cause serious and significant disruption to the delivery of a critical service. Any disruption to this service would be severe and result in significant risk to the health and wellbeing of service users, including a potential risk of death. The BCES Partners have a statutory obligation to ensure services are delivered effectively and continuously, to a high standard, to service users. The services are critical to the delivery of health and social care services across the area. The Council, along with the BCES Partners therefore began making preparations for alternative arrangements to ensure continuity of service after 31 July 2025, which have continued as the probability of disruption to the service has increased. The Council considers that a direct award is justified in all the circumstances on the basis of extreme and unavoidable urgency. The situation giving rise to the need for a direct award was not foreseeable or attributable in any way to the Council, and there was not sufficient time for a competitive tendering procedure to be conducted prior to 31 July 2025 given the complexity and scale of the services required.", "specialRegime": [ "lightTouch" ], "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "complete" } ], "documents": [ { "id": "conflictOfInterest", "documentType": "conflictOfInterest", "description": "Not published" } ], "procurementMethodRationaleClassifications": [ { "id": "urgency" } ] }, "awards": [ { "id": "1", "title": "Integrated Community Equipment Service", "status": "pending", "value": { "amountGross": 54000000, "amount": 45000000, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-COH-00833987", "name": "MILLBROOK HEALTHCARE LTD" } ], "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "85000000", "description": "Health and social work services" } ], "deliveryAddresses": [ { "region": "UKJ11", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKJ13", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKJ14", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKJ11", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKJ13", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" }, { "region": "UKJ14", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2025-12-17T00:00:00Z", "endDate": "2028-07-30T23:59:59+01:00" }, "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "documents": [ { "id": "044942-2025", "documentType": "awardNotice", "noticeType": "UK5", "description": "Transparency notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044942-2025", "datePublished": "2025-07-31T17:16:14+01:00", "format": "text/html" }, { "id": "079953-2025", "documentType": "awardNotice", "noticeType": "UK6", "description": "Contract award notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/079953-2025", "datePublished": "2025-12-05T06:45:40Z", "format": "text/html" } ], "milestones": [ { "id": "1", "type": "futureSignatureDate", "dueDate": "2025-12-17T23:59:59Z", "status": "scheduled" } ], "date": "2025-07-31T00:00:00+01:00", "standstillPeriod": { "endDate": "2025-12-16T23:59:59Z" } } ], "language": "en" }
