The procurement, carried out under a light-touch regime, employed a direct procurement method due to being below the threshold, and thus did not involve competition. The tender was fully executed and awarded to Westin Care Limited, a large supplier based in Bristol, with the award activated as of 30th March 2025.

The contract is scheduled to run from 31st March 2025 to 31st March 2029, with a total gross value of £181,581.43. This process was formally completed on 9th September 2025.

By participating in such tenders, businesses can enhance their portfolio and strengthen ties within the public sector service delivery ecosystem.
