## Summary

Bedford Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK, has completed the award and contract for a tender titled "24 hour Residential Care". The procurement process is classified in the social work and related services category. This direct procurement, executed below the threshold without competition, concludes with an active contract beginning on 26th May 2025 and ending on 26th May 2027. The contract, valued at £149,760 gross, involves delivery in the UKH24 region, handled by the supplier Stonehaven (Healthcare) Ltd - Dove Tree House based in Devon, indicating the urgent need for residential care services within the specified timeframe.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses involved in the delivery of healthcare and social care services, particularly those specialising in round-the-clock residential support. Companies with expertise in the provision of sensitive and urgent care solutions, and who can navigate the non-competitive procurement landscape, would find themselves suitably positioned to compete. Furthermore, it highlights the demand for efficient service delivery in specific UK regions, providing SMEs with a chance to expand their reach and enhance their service portfolios in the healthcare sector.
