## Summary

Westminster City Council has directly awarded a contract for the Community Equipment Service, aiming to fulfil its statutory obligations under the Care Act 2014. This contract, titled "Community Equipment Service 2025", addresses the urgent need for medical equipment, including devices for the elderly and disabled, as well as repair and maintenance services. The procurement falls within the industry category of Medical aids, with delivery planned within the Greater London area (UKI32). The procurement was conducted through a direct award method, justified by extreme urgency, which bypassed the voluntary standstill period. The contract, valued at £1,492,000, commences on the 1st of August 2025 and extends until the end of September, with options to extend up to an additional six months.

This tender represents substantial growth opportunities for small to medium enterprises specialising in medical equipment, installation, and maintenance services. The Council has partnered with Saadia Ltd, trading as 24/7 Healthcare Limited, identified as a suitable supplier under these urgent circumstances. Businesses capable of meeting the heightened demand for community equipment, including storage and warehousing services, would find competing for similar contracts rewarding. Moreover, companies with a focus on providing essential and scalable healthcare resources could leverage such opportunities to expand their operations, particularly in partnership with governmental bodies that prioritise supporting vulnerable segments of the population.

## Notice

The Council has a statutory duty under the Care Act 2014 to provide community equipment services. It has been identified that there is a need for urgent action to be taken to ensure the needs of vulnerable residents can be met and the Council fulfils its statutory duties. The Council has identified a provider to supply essential community equipment and to support the delivery of the equipment and repair, installation and servicing services to service users and peripheral stores. This is a demand based service. The expected value is based on the anticipated demand and the cost of equipment/services delivered by the provider. Due to the urgency of the award, the Council has not observed a voluntary standstill period.

### Procurement Information

The urgent action required is to ensure the needs of vulnerable residents can be met and the Council fulfils statutory requirements. The Council is required to maintain access to the Services for all eligible residents and there is a legal duty under the Care Act 2014 for the Services to be delivered. Officers have identified the need for urgent action to be taken to maintain the delivery of the Service and to ensure that vulnerable residents can continue to access the required provision. The Council has directly awarded a contract to the identified supplier under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023. In relation to the urgency justification under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, this justification applies for the following reasons: * The goods and services to be supplied under the proposed contract are strictly necessary to ensure the Council complies with its statutory duties. * The situation has arisen due to unforeseeable events outside of the Council's control. In the circumstances the Council must act urgently and there is not sufficient time to carry out a competitive tendering procedure. * The urgency is unavoidable and was not attributable to any act or omission of the council. The need to ensure continuity of services to vulnerable service users provides grounds to rely on this justification and direct award a contract to the identified supplier.
