This contract falls under the industry category of residential health facilities services. The awarded contract, which has an activity-based value of £0.01, is scheduled from 1st August 2024 to 31st March 2028, covering services at Lakeview Care Home in Walsall, United Kingdom.

The procurement stage is the contract award, which was confirmed on 25th November 2024. Notably, this tender was processed as a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime without the need for a prior call for competition. The awarded contract to Alpha Health Care Limited offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in healthcare services and those capable of providing bespoke patient care packages.

Companies with a strong presence in residential health facilities services and the ability to expand or adapt existing services could greatly benefit from such contracts. As this procurement was carried out under a regime allowing for direct awards, businesses that have established themselves as reliable providers with a history of successful service repetition or extensions are well-suited to compete in similar future tenders.
