## Summary

The NHS North Central London Integrated Care Board (NCL ICB) has awarded a contract for the provision of Care Home Service - Spot Purchase. This tender falls under the health services category and involves the procurement of services. The contract aims to formalise relationships with service providers like Bupa Care Homes through a 3+2 year agreement. The location for service delivery includes Stamford Nursing Home and Nairn House in the UK. The procurement method used was a limited negotiation without the publication of a contract notice.

This tender by the NHS North Central London ICB provides opportunities for businesses in the health services industry, particularly those experienced in care home services. The contract duration is initially set for 3 years with provisions for a 2-year extension. Businesses suited for this opportunity are those capable of meeting the specific requirements outlined in the negotiated procurement process determined by the absence of competition for technical reasons.

## Notice

The NCL ICB currently procures a substantial number of spot purchase bed days from BUPA and wishes to formalise the relationship with a 3+2 year contract to reduce the overall cost to the system and provide more certainty to both parties. Other providers of similar services with whom we have an established relationship and sufficient spend will also be able to request the transition from spot purchase arrangements to a formal contract. The contract will be renewed for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for a further 2 years. This will allow NCL ICB to move from a spot purchase to a more sustainable and financially efficient contract. The contract is a spot purchase contract so a total value cannot be attributed to this contract
