Description

This contract falls under LRT. An open procedure procurement has recently been concluded to tender the services provided within Beachcroft Care Home in Westminster. The ITT was published on 25 January 2021 and closed on 15 March 2021 following two timescale extensions to allow the market more time to respond and following changes in TUPE information. Following the evaluation stage, the Authority considered that the tenders submitted did not demonstrate best value as the commercial aspects were not viable when assessed against the budget allocated by the Authority.

The existing contract ended on 16th June 2021 and for the safety of the service users and for them to have continuity of service a interim contract was directly awarded. This contract will be for an initial period of 12 months commencing 17th June 2021 with the option to extend for two further periods of 3 months (12+3+3months).

A new procurement exercise is being developed by council officers and further market engagement will be conducted in summer 2021 to understand the current market appetite, help shape the service model, and determine appropriate timescales for issuing a revised ITT as the market recovers from the impact of COVID.
