Homecare 24-27

The NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board has completed the procurement process titled "Homecare 24-27" under the industry category of Community Health Services. The contract focuses on the provision of homecare services to individuals within the Cornwall region (UKK30). This procurement process, which used a limited method and was awarded without prior publication, has resulted in a contract awarded to Rightnurse Care Services.

The initial three-year contract period spans from 1 October 2024 to 30 September 2027, with a contract value based on activity rather than a fixed cost. Key decision-makers involved in the process included the contract manager, procurement manager, and healthcare business manager. This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity within the healthcare sector, particularly for providers specialising in community health services.

Businesses with experience in homecare and those capable of delivering high-quality, patient-focused care can benefit from such contracts. The procurement method suggests that this was a reserved and targeted process, allowing experienced providers like Rightnurse Care Services to secure contracts for vital healthcare services in the Cornwall area. SMEs with a strong track record in health-related services and capable of meeting the specific needs of the population would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
