Summary of the contracting process
Torbay Council has awarded a contract titled "ADU25144 Community Equipment Service," to Millbrook Healthcare Ltd, focusing on the provision of health and social work services for adults and children within the Torbay Council boundary. The procurement process, originally initiated due to an urgent need to replace an ongoing service, utilised a direct award method, circumventing the traditional tendering process, given the urgency involved.
Key procurement classifications include services applicable under the CPV code "Health and social work services." The contract, valued at £5,700,000 net (£6,840,000 gross), was formally awarded on 30th July 2025 and commences on 8th August 2025, running through to the 31st of July 2028. This was necessitated by the incumbent supplier's failure to continue services leading to direct discussions with Millbrook Healthcare, who are already established within Devon.
The location of the contract performance is in the South West England region, postcode area UKK42. The direct award process, although unique due to specific circumstances, highlights the importance of readiness and existing capabilities to swiftly take on large-scale service delivery.
