Admiral Nurse Service

The London Borough of Hillingdon has completed a direct award for the Admiral Nurse Service to the Central and North-West London NHS Foundation Trust. The procurement was made under the Direct Award Procedure C, regulated by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contracting process pertains to the "Health and social work services" industry category and commits to a five-year service period beginning on 22nd August 2025.

The service, which partners with Dementia UK and focuses on specialist dementia care, will operate in Hillingdon, United Kingdom, and is jointly funded to ensure comprehensive support for residents with dementia and their carers. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of health and social care services, particularly those specialising in dementia care. The direct award bypasses traditional competitive tendering, which implies an emphasis on specialised expertise and longstanding collaborations.

Large healthcare organisations, especially those with experience in partnering with public authorities and established networks in regional healthcare delivery, would find this contract particularly advantageous. The impact of this project extends beyond immediate service delivery by strengthening long-term competence in dementia care services, a rapidly growing field with increasing demand.
