## Summary

The procurement process involves Wokingham Borough Council seeking residential care services for older individuals, necessitated by the urgent healthcare challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak. The tender, titled "Residential Care for Older People," is classified under welfare services for the elderly and is valued at £36,000. The procurement method employed was a limited procedure, allowing for an expedited process without prior contract notice. The tender period concluded on 27th March 2020, while the contract is scheduled to run from 30th March 2020 to 20th May 2020. This procurement is located in Wokingham, South East, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in residential care and healthcare services, particularly those able to respond quickly to urgent requests. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will find themselves well-placed to compete, given the localised nature of the service provision and the focus on delivering high-quality care swiftly during this pressing public health crisis. Businesses with expertise in elderly care, particularly those familiar with the challenges presented by the pandemic, should consider this opportunity to expand their reach and service offerings.

## Notice

The COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for the supply of residential care services to ensure efficient discharge of hospital patients due to COVID-19. This does not give Wokingham Borough Council sufficient time to comply with the standard open procedure timescales for this procurement. Wokingham Borough Council considers this to be a state of urgency which it has duly substantiated. Accordingly, Wokingham Borough Council is using the accelerated time limits permitted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (regulation [27(5) for the open procedure) in respect of this procurement
