## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Care Home Matrons" project, which falls under the health and social work services industry category. This initiative aims to support care homes in Leicester, UK, particularly those with high hospital admission rates, by providing matrons' services for training and health tasks. The project contract was awarded to Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, a large-scale supplier, through a direct procurement method below the competition threshold. The procurement is at the award and contract stage, with the formal award notice published on 19th December 2025. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2027.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in healthcare and social services, especially those experienced in providing staff training and development within care environments. Companies that can offer innovative support solutions for reducing hospital admissions in care homes would be particularly well-suited for similar future opportunities. As the procurement method was direct and below threshold, smaller businesses might find opportunities in subcontracting or providing supplementary services related to the main contract.

## Notice

Matrons provide support and signposting of training available to care homes. Homes visited are those which have the highest number of hospital admissions for residents. Training is provided/developed with the care home in areas such as falls avoidance and undertaking delegated health tasks.
