## Summary

The London Borough of Harrow awarded a contract to Provide Care Solutions Limited for the "Provision of Community Equipment" aimed at supporting independence, facilitating hospital discharge, and aiding home care for adults and children. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and involves the supply, maintenance, and collection of necessary items. The procurement process was initiated through a direct award due to the urgent requirement to ensure continued service after the incumbent provider's cessation of operations on 15 September 2025. The contract commenced on 22 September 2025 and is scheduled to run until 21 September 2027, with an option for a one-year extension, providing a gross contract value of £10,440,000. The actions adhered to statutory requirements under the Care Act 2014 and were informed by legal provisions under the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for suppliers within the health and social work services sector, particularly those capable of delivering community equipment solutions that promote independent living and safe home care. It is ideal for businesses, especially SMEs like Provide Care Solutions Limited, that can efficiently deliver comprehensive equipment services, including supply, maintenance, and logistics, under pressing timelines. Organisations with a robust network and the capability to handle sudden demand shifts would find this contract and similar future opportunities beneficial for growth. The contract's strategic nature ensures a continued partnership to address community health needs, thereby offering a platform for providers to expand their government service portfolio.

## Notice

A contract was awarded to Provide Care Solutions Limited for the 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 was necessary for the Council to urgently award a replacement contract to secure continuity of these critical statutory services in the London Borough of Harrow. The Council considered all options and 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 Provide Care Solutions Limited should be made.
