Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process for the provision of "Step Down Beds for Dementia patients", classified under health services (CPV: 85100000). The procurement, situated in the UKH25 region, was undertaken under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and is not governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender was concluded at the award stage, with the contract signed on 6th November 2025.
The direct award was made to PRESSBEAU LIMITED, based in Leighton Buzzard, for a service commencing on 3rd November 2025, with a term of up to two years and a total value of £1,274,400. This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those capable of offering innovative solutions for dementia care in transition settings. Given the specific requirements of the procurement, businesses with experience in operating care facilities or providing specialised medical support services for elderly patients are well-positioned to engage.
The use of a limited procurement method indicates an exclusive opportunity for businesses without realistic alternative providers to secure government contracts, thus fostering a niche market advantage.
