Homecare 24-27

The NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board has completed a procurement process for the provision of community health services, specifically homecare, named "Homecare 24-27". This process, organised under the Health Care Services (PSR) Regulations 2023, culminated in a contract award on 23rd April 2025. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication, signifying a direct award in accordance with the NHS Provider Selection Regime.

The contract, facilitating service delivery in the UKK30 region, is a continuation with the existing provider, Tamarisk care agency, spanning an initial period from 1st October 2024 to 30th September 2027. This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health services, especially those capable of providing homecare services. Companies that are already operating within the healthcare sector, particularly those with a focus on community and domiciliary care, would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities.

As this contract was awarded through a direct award without a call for competition, businesses looking to engage in future tenders with the NHS should ensure they have a strong track record and relationships in place to capitalise on direct award opportunities under the NHS Provider Selection Regime.
