Current status / Background Islington Council is ambitious about excellent nursing home provision to meet the needs of residents who cannot remain in their own homes or in other accommodation-based services. The Council is keen to work with providers that offer high quality, personalised, enabling care and support. Our aim is that nursing homes are well-connected, at the heart of communities, active contributions to social value, and offer exciting employment opportunities.

In light of this the Council is seeking to maintain and expand the availability of in-borough nursing care beds block provision. The requirement Islington council is seeking to procure a block of at least eighteen (18) older people's nursing home beds, with the flexibility to meet the Council's vision to increase capacity to procure up to a further 18 beds as required (36 in total) in a care home/care homes based in the borough, rated at least 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC.) To ensure a high quality offer, the council is seeking to procure provision only in homes rated 'Good' or above by the CQC.
