## Summary

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is overseeing a procurement process for a specialised residential care home, targeting male adults with complex support needs. This contract, titled "Specialist Residential Care Home," falls under the health and social work services category and the procurement stage has been completed. The council, located at Spindles Shopping Centre, West Street, Oldham, initiated a direct award due to the specific requirements involved with the placement; this approach was necessitated by challenges in finding suitable placements within existing frameworks. The contract period is scheduled from 3rd February 2026 to 3rd February 2027, and the award notice was published on December 16, 2025.

The direct award contract with Consensus Support Services Ltd, an SME based in Colchester, presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in complex residential care services. Companies focusing on autism, sensory needs, or mental health support are well-suited for such tenders. Such contracts offer substantial potential, not only in financial growth due to the contract value of £275,334.28 but also in establishing long-term partnerships with public authorities like the Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, facilitating future collaborations in similar projects.
