## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council commissioned adult social care in a care home to meet an individual’s assessed care and support needs. The placement is tailored to that person and is intended to provide appropriate care, support and supervision, promoting wellbeing, independence and quality of life. This is an individual placement rather than a general service across a defined population. The work is delivered in West Northamptonshire, England. The service category is health and social care.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Avery Homes (Nelson) Limited. The award value is £218,400. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 6 October 2030, with signature scheduled for 6 October 2026. West Northamptonshire Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for this individual placement. The procurement was organised as a single lot and marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement follows an assessment under the Care Act 2014; the placement is intended to secure continuity of care and timely delivery of the individual support arrangement.

For suppliers seeking to compete for comparable West Northamptonshire Council placements, credibility rests on the ability to provide care-home services that match an individual’s assessed adult social care needs. Providers need to deliver tailored care, support and supervision, with a clear focus on wellbeing, independence and quality of life. Continuity of care and timely placement are central to the requirement, so operational capacity to take on an individual support arrangement and sustain appropriate care is important. The award demonstrates that the council uses direct, below-threshold purchasing without competition for this type of placement; relevant providers should be equipped to respond to individual assessments and deliver care consistent with the Care Act framework.
