## Summary

Medway Council is seeking a provider for Day Care Services to support 40 Working Age Adults, effective from 1 September 2022. The procurement process, categorised as a limited tender, has concluded with the award of the contract to CHOICE & HARMONY SUPPORT SERVICES LTD. The arrangement, active as of 1 August 2022, is set for a 12-month period with an option to extend for an additional six months. The procurement was prompted by legal changes regarding VAT compliance affecting service providers in this sector, making it critical for Medway Council to secure a dependable provider quickly in a limited market.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in care services, particularly those equipped to provide support to working age adults in a daycare setting. Companies capable of navigating the complexities of care service delivery in compliance with current regulations would be well-suited to compete. Establishing a partnership in this sector can not only provide immediate contracts but also pave the way for future engagements as Medway Council develops a Dynamic Purchasing System to bolster the local day care services market.

## Notice

Medway Council requires a provider to deliver Day Care services to 40 Working Age Adults from 1 September 2022. This number is subject to fluctuate during the term of the arrangement.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Medway Council requires a provider to deliver Day Care services to 40 Working Age Adults from 1 September 2022. This number is subject to fluctuate during the term of the arrangement.

### Procurement Information

The Supreme Court ruled that day care services in England are required to pay VAT and are not considered "state regulated". Following this judgement, HMRC issued VAT Brief 9 declaring that retrospective VAT was also due from the date the VAT threshold was achieved. To prevent further implications, the incumbent will cease trading on 31 August 2022. As Medway is subject to a very limited Day Care services market and the incumbent cares for 40 Working Age Adults who may otherwise be subject to escalated alternative services, there's only a single economic entity who can deliver the required service as outlined in section 5 of this notice. The arrangement will be for a period of 12 months with the option to extend for a further 6. This will allow the Council to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System to help develop the local Day Care market thereafter.
