## Summary

Derby City Council commissioned a care package for an individual already placed with Twyford Care Group. The service provides complete day and night care and support, maintaining continuity for a person who transferred from Derbyshire County Council’s responsibility and is settled in the existing placement. This is a health and social care service delivered in Derby. The stated purpose is to ensure that the individual’s care and support continue through the same provider. The procurement is a single care package rather than a broader framework or multi-service contract. It is therefore relevant to care home operators and specialist social care providers able to deliver continuous, individualised support in an established residential setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award below the threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Derby City Council awarded the contract to TWYFORD HOUSE CARE LIMITED on 5 July 2026. The contract was signed on 5 July 2026 and runs from 6 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross and stated value is £90,131.34. The care package is to be reviewed by 31 March 2027. There is one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through a direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, reflecting the stated need for the existing provider to maintain essential continuity of care and support.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement for continuous day-and-night care delivered by a provider able to maintain an existing placement and support an individual who is settled in that environment. Suppliers assessing comparable future requirements for Derby City Council would need operational capacity for round-the-clock care, reliable staffing and the ability to provide consistent, individualised support without disrupting an established placement. Experience in health and social care services and the ability to take responsibility for a complete care package would be directly relevant. The award also indicates that continuity and the individual’s existing relationship with the provider can be decisive in this type of light-touch social care requirement, so competitors would need credible transition planning as well as strong ongoing care delivery.
