## Summary

The Department of Health and Social Care has completed a procurement process for the project titled 'Support to Local Authorities and Social Care sector over winter 22/23 through Care Health Improvement Programme'. This project falls under the 'Business and management consultancy services' category, and the procurement method used was a limited tender. The contract has been awarded to Improvement and Development Agency for Local Government with a value of £2,530,000. The procurement rationale was to directly award the contract to ensure continuity of services for adult social care between 1/10/2022 and 31/3/2023.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specializing in providing consultancy services for the health sector. Suitable businesses would need to have experience in supporting local authorities and social care sectors. Although the tender has already been awarded, it highlights the potential for future competitive tender exercises in a market that is currently constrained, which can benefit from more market engagement activities to maximize business opportunities.

### Procurement Information

This is a direct award of contract to the Local Government Association (LGA) and the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) for critical support for the adult social care (ASC) front line between 1/10/2022 and 31/3/2023. 

We are working to open a competitive tender exercise to replace this contract, and need to maintain continuity of service given the nature of the requirement. 

The market is currently constrained because there have been no opportunities to deliver this activity openly available. As this is the first time we have gone to competitive tender for the activity, we intend to conduct more market engagement activity to help warm up the market to this new opportunity and maximise the benefit of the competitive tender.
