## Summary

Leeds City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of support and personal day care Services for People living with Dementia" at the Moor Allerton Care Centre in Leeds. The project falls under the health and social work services industry category and is located in the North East of Leeds. The procurement was conducted through a direct award to Methodist Homes due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. Key dates include the contract period starting on 1 July 2026 and running until 30 June 2027, with the possibility of renewal up to a maximum of 48 months.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, especially those with expertise in dementia care. While the procurement was directly awarded due to specific service requirements and location constraints, other companies in the sector can gain insights into the procurement needs of public authorities like Leeds City Council. Understanding these requirements can help businesses tailor their offerings for similar future opportunities, ensuring they are prepared for tenders that may be announced in other regions or under different circumstances.

## Notice

Bay Tree Resource Centre is a day service for people living with dementia, and part ofMethodist Homes (MHA) purpose-built provision at Moor Allerton Care Centre, LS17. The Council has contracted with MHA for day services since the centre opened in 2005. Day services offer structured occupation, enable people to stay active, and offer much-valued breaks for unpaid carers.

### Procurement Information

Pursuant to section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, the Council may directly award a contract where a relevant direct award justification applies. The direct award justifications are set out in Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act. In this instance, the Council relies upon Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5, which states that: The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract- (a) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only a particular supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The Council is satisfied that the provisions set out above have been met for the following reasons: It is clear from the unpaid carer consultation responses, enclosed at Appendix 2, that the service required is this specific service at Bay Tree Resource Centre, and not a day care service at different premises. The evidence for this includes the importance of the environment and space considerations at the premises, and the adverse impact of a change of premises. This rationale - for continuing with the same provider, at the premises that the provider owns, and built using their own fundraising - is aligned to the rationale for sustaining the service and not asking people to move to a Council Complex Needs Centre. It is not considered reasonable to offer alternatives to this service, given the consultation responses. Additional technical difficulties include the lack of availability of other purpose-built premises in the north-east Leeds area; and the costs involved in design and build (which would be considerably more that PS800K at current prices).
