Homecare Services Vincentian Care Plus contract including Verilife (WCC) (South Patch)

Westminster City Council, a public authority under sub-central government, has completed the procurement process for the "Homecare Services Vincentian Care Plus contract including Verilife (WCC) (South Patch)". The awarded contract, announced on 19th November 2025, was given to Vincentian Care Plus, a supplier based in London, United Kingdom.

The procurement involved a direct award method under a "light touch" regime, justified by urgent requirements to continue essential services after the previous contract lapsed on 30th April 2025. The contract period is scheduled from 1st May 2025 to 14th December 2025, encompassing services already provided since May.

The procurement, primarily focused on social work services without accommodation, falls under the services category with a substantial budget exceeding thresholds, valued at £2,295,435 (net). The prospective signing of this contract was anticipated on or around 18th November 2025 but backdated to account for the continuity of services.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a focus on social services or related fields might find this contract aligns well with their business model due to its scale and nature. The direct award represents a unique chance for well-positioned, agile suppliers to partner with Westminster City Council and cater to critical public health needs, thereby enhancing their portfolio and strengthening their market position within the public authority domain.
