## Summary

Swindon Borough Council procured one nursing respite bed for people assessed as needing nursing respite. The service provides planned respite periods and operates throughout the year as a block arrangement; it is not a crisis response service. This is a nursing and social care service, classified under social work and related services. The buyer is Swindon Borough Council, and the named provider is Church View Nursing Home, operated by Coate Water Care Company. The listed delivery areas cover England, although they do not identify a specific service address. The requirement is for a single bed rather than a wider package of beds or a general emergency service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Coate Water Care Company (Church View Nursing Home) Limited. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award covers one lot and one nursing respite bed. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its stated contract value is £59,744 gross. The service is arranged as a block for one year, providing planned nursing respite to people whose need has been assessed. No evaluation basis or selection criteria are recorded; the route used did not involve competition.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible providers will need to operate a nursing home or equivalent care service able to supply a dedicated respite bed through a year-round block arrangement. The service must support planned stays for people assessed as needing nursing respite, rather than crisis placements. Relevant capability therefore centres on safe nursing care, accommodating respite periods and maintaining consistent bed capacity across the service period. The council selected a local care-home provider through a direct award without competition, so familiarity with the buyer’s service need and the ability to meet it as a single-bed arrangement are relevant signals. Providers whose offer is limited to general social care, non-nursing respite or emergency response would not match the requirement described.
