## Summary

The Pan-London Nursing Homes Any Qualified Provider (AQP) contract has been initiated by NHS North East London Integrated Care Board in collaboration with several other NHS Integrated Care Boards in London. This procurement focuses on health and social work services, specifically nursing home services for adults in CQC-registered nursing homes across London and its surrounding areas. As of 1 April 2026, NHS West and North London ICB, following the merger of NHS North West and North Central London ICBs, has assumed responsibility. Procured under the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process B, applications opened on 10 March 2025 and continue on a rolling basis without a set deadline via the CarePulse eProcurement system. The procurement falls outside the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and does not guarantee any volume or payment, with no specified minimum service packages. The current procurement stage is complete, having led to an active contract with CYGNET HEALTH CARE LIMITED as of 7 May 2026.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for nursing home service providers aiming to secure NHS Continuing Healthcare placements, as the AQP list becomes a primary commissioning route. Ideal candidates are those with CQC-registered nursing facilities located in or around London. Businesses, particularly SMEs looking for growth in the public health sector, could significantly benefit by joining the AQP list, which provides visibility and positioning for future commissioning opportunities. The open and rolling application process allows flexibility, enabling providers to join at their convenience. This initiative supports large-scale healthcare delivery, which can lead to new partnerships and service expansion in the healthcare industry.

This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 (PSR), specifically under Direct Award Process B. The PSR applies in place of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for health care services of this nature. The procurement therefore falls outside the scope of the PCR 2015.
