## Summary

Isle of Wight Council is procuring residential and nursing services for adults, classified as social work and related services (CPV 85300000). The requirement supports the continued care of vulnerable adults within the Isle of Wight. It covers accommodation-based residential care and nursing care rather than general social care consultancy or healthcare supplies. The council is the public authority responsible for the requirement and delivery is on the Isle of Wight. The procurement is treated as a light-touch social care service arrangement. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to care home operators, nursing home providers, social care charities and other organisations able to deliver regulated adult care services locally.

The procurement is complete and was handled by direct award as a one-year continuation while a new framework is procured. The award date is 1 September 2026. The awarded value is £5,000,000 excluding VAT and £6,000,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. One lot covers the full residential and nursing services requirement. The arrangement is above the applicable threshold and uses the light-touch regime for social care services. The award is recorded as pending, with signature scheduled for 1 September 2026. The published procurement information does not set out competitive evaluation criteria because this was a direct award intended to maintain care provision during the framework transition.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Isle of Wight Council for residential and nursing care for vulnerable adults. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be established care providers with the premises, trained staff, clinical capability and operational capacity to deliver safe, continuous residential and nursing services on the island. Credibility would also depend on meeting the relevant adult social care regulatory, safeguarding, quality and governance requirements, and on demonstrating experience of supporting people with differing care needs. The council’s identification of the requirement as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller care groups, charities and social enterprises may be viable competitors alongside larger operators, provided they can sustain the required service scale and continuity.
