## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council commissioned a care-home placement through spot purchasing of adult social care services. The service is for an identified individual whose care and support needs have been assessed under the Care Act 2014. The provider is to deliver tailored care, support and supervision, with the aim of maintaining or improving the person’s health, wellbeing, independence and quality of life, and ensuring continuity of care. The procurement is for health and social care services, with delivery in West Northamptonshire. This is an individual support arrangement rather than a general care-home service contract: the placement is shaped around the needs established by the person’s assessment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Green Pastures. West Northamptonshire Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award value is £239,780.32 gross. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 29 September 2030, and the award was published on 2 October 2026. The procurement is divided into one lot, which is complete. The award is recorded as pending, while the overall tender and lot are complete. The placement was commissioned after assessment of an individual’s care and support needs, and is intended to provide timely services and continuity of care under an individual arrangement.

For providers competing for comparable West Northamptonshire Council placements, credibility rests on delivering adult social care in a care-home setting and tailoring care, support and supervision to an individual’s assessed needs. The selected provider must be able to support continuity of care and timely delivery, while working towards appropriate health, wellbeing, independence and quality-of-life outcomes. This purchase indicates demand for a specific placement rather than a broad service across multiple locations or a multi-lot programme. The council made this award directly without competition, so suppliers seeking similar work should be prepared to demonstrate a clear fit with an individual’s assessed requirements and the ability to sustain a personalised support arrangement over a multi-year period. The procurement identifies no particular accreditation or staffing qualification requirement.
