## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea has awarded a contract titled "Community Equipment - 24/7 Healthcare - RBKC" under the direct procurement method due to urgent service needs following the previous service provider ceasing trading. The contract is awarded to Saadia Ltd trading as 24/7 Healthcare Limited, which is tasked with supplying essential community medical equipment to support vulnerable residents, including hospital discharge and end of life care. The procurement falls under the category of medical aids and personal care products, effective from 11 March 2026, with a contract period until 31 July 2027. Located in London, GB, the procurement aims to ensure continuity of statutory services amidst market fragility and price volatility, without a voluntary standstill period being observed.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in healthcare equipment supply, repair, installation, and peripheral services. Given the urgent nature of the contract, companies capable of rapid response and service continuity are best positioned to benefit from the demand-based service structure. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in medical equipment supply chains can leverage this opportunity to establish or expand their presence in public sector service delivery, especially in volatile market conditions where reliability and stability are crucial.

## Notice

The Council has a statutory duty under the Care Act 2014 to provide community equipment services. It has been identified that urgent action is required to ensure the needs of vulnerable residents can continue to be met and that the Council fulfils its statutory duties, including supporting hospital discharge, prevention of admission, end of life care and wider independence pathways. The Council has identified a provider to supply essential community equipment and to support the delivery of associated functions, including delivery, installation, repair, collection and peripheral store services. This follows the previous provider ceasing trading, which created immediate operational pressures and the need for rapid stabilisation of service capacity. This is a demand based service, and the expected value is determined by projected activity levels and the cost of goods and services supplied. Due to the urgency of the award, the Council has not observed a voluntary standstill period

### Procurement Information

The Council is required to maintain access to community equipment services for all eligible residents, and there is a legal duty under the Care Act 2014 for these Services to be delivered. Officers have identified the need for urgent action to maintain the delivery of the Service and to ensure that vulnerable residents can continue to access the required provision. The need for urgent intervention has arisen following the previous provider ceasing trading, which created immediate operational pressures and a risk to continuity of statutory service. To ensure uninterrupted provision, the Council intends to directly award a contract to the identified supplier under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023. In relation to the urgency justification under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, this justification applies for the following reasons: * The goods and services to be supplied under the proposed contract are strictly necessary to ensure the Council complies with its statutory duties and maintains safe access to essential community equipment. * The situation has arisen due to unforeseeable events outside of the Council's control, requiring urgent measures to stabilise service capacity. * The urgency is unavoidable and was not attributable to any act or omission of the Council. * There is not sufficient time to carry out a competitive tendering procedure without creating unacceptable risks to the continuity of support for vulnerable residents. The need to ensure continuity of Services to vulnerable service users provides grounds to rely on this justification and directly award a contract to the identified supplier.
