## Summary

The procurement process titled "DHSC: ASC Support and Improvement Offer Care and Health Advisor (CHIA)" was conducted by the Department of Health & Social Care. This contract, classified under administrative healthcare services, falls within the services category and was specifically focused on the UKI32 region in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has been completed, with the contract award decision made in April 2025. Utilising a limited procurement method without the prior publication of a call for competition due to technical reasons, the procurement did not involve multiple competitive bids, as indicated by the execution of the contract under Regulation 32.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations experienced in administrative healthcare services, particularly those familiar with sector-led improvement initiatives within the adult social care sector. The contract was awarded to the Local Government Association, a large entity, suggesting that similarly scaled organisations or those with established networks and expertise in collaborating with governmental bodies may find success in future related procurement opportunities. Businesses capable of offering specialised advisory services and support improvements to social care frameworks could leverage such contracts to expand their influence and operational scope in the public healthcare domain.

## Notice

The support and improvement programme is a lever Ministers can use to help the adult social care sector deliver the changes they want to see. Our contracts with the LGA and ADASS are a central part of the programme. They facilitate sector-led improvement and help the Department better understand the support needs of local authorities, enabling us to target support to where it is most needed.
