## Summary

The London Borough of Haringey initiated a procurement process for the supply of community equipment, aimed at supporting independence, facilitating hospital discharges, and enabling home care for both adults and children. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and was addressed through a direct award procurement method. Despite an initially planned contract with an existing provider, urgency due to the provider ceasing operations on 15 September 2025 necessitated a swift transition. Consequently, Essex Cares Limited was directly awarded the contract on 12 September 2025, covering operations from London with the potential for extensions up to September 2028, ensuring continuity of these essential services.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in health and social services. The contract envisages substantial involvement in the delivery, maintenance, and collection of community equipment, with Essex Cares Limited playing a central role due to their capacity as a large-scale supplier. Companies with expertise in similar services or those capable of meeting urgent service demands and maintaining high-quality standards would be well-positioned to engage in future opportunities or expansions related to this procurement.

## Notice

Provision of community equipment to support independence, hospital discharge, and care at home for adults and children. Includes supply, maintenance, and collection of items.

### Procurement Information

The Council has a statutory duty to provide the integrated community equipment and service pursuant to the Care Act 2014. The existing provider has notified the Council that they will cease trading from 15 September 2025 and therefore cease providing these services to the Council. Due to the short notice provided by the incumbent provider it is impossible to commission a new contract within the relevant timescales and ensure continuity of service. It is necessary for the Council to urgently award a replacement contract to secure continuity of these critical statutory services in Haringey. The Council has considered all options and have concluded that due to this extreme urgency a directly awarded contract under Section 41 and Sections 13 and 14 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 to Essex Cares Limited should be made
