## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Wokingham Borough Council involves the provision of residential care services in response to the urgent needs arising from the COVID-19 outbreak. The contract, valued at £36,000, is classified under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and is situated in the South East region of the United Kingdom. As the procurement method employed is 'limited', the council has opted for an expedited approach due to the circumstances, moving straight to awarding the contract without prior publication. The tender period ended on 1st April 2020, with the contract running from 7th April to 13th May 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social care sector, especially those specialising in residential care services. Companies that can demonstrate the capability to quickly mobilise resources in emergency situations would be particularly well-positioned to compete. The urgency of the requirement highlights the need for agile and responsive service providers, which could provide substantial avenues for business growth in a challenging environment.

## Notice

The COVID-19 outbreak has given rise to an urgent need for the supply of residential care to facilitate rapid hospital discharge. This does not give Wokingham Borough Council sufficient time to comply with the standard [open procedure / restricted procedure / competitive procedure with negotiation] 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.
