## Description
The Royal Borough of Greenwich intends to commission a single provider contract for the provision of Adult 'Home First, Discharge to Assess & Recovery Beds' services.
The Service will operate from Eltham Community Hospital and will provide up to 20 beds, flexibly allocated across both pathways to support hospital discharge, admission avoidance, and short-term recovery and non-intensive rehabilitation to enable recovery and regain independence. Multidisciplinary working is key to the model, and the provider will be expected to work in partnership with system stakeholders.
The service will operate on a block purchase basis and will include personal care, including nursing and medication support administered by registered nurses and care professionals care with the goal to enable service users to regain or achieve maximum independence and quality of life as soon as possible following a period of ill health.
Total value: £7,080,000
Length of contract 3 years and estimated start date is Spring 2027, pending the site refurbishment.
This direct award is following a competitive procedure where a contract could not be awarded: switch to direct award under Section 43
A competitive procurement process was launched on 31st March 2026 for a 5 plus 2 years contract (UK4: Tender notice Notice identifier2026/S 000-0395) and closed on 7 May 2026 receiving 9 bids. The tender was officially concluded with no award on 19 May 2026 following no bidders being compliant (UK12: Procurement termination notice Notice identifier2026/S 000-045745).

o materially breached the procedural requirements set out in the tender notice and associated tender documents (in relation to that, officers noted that the Procurement Act S43 provides that a breach is material if it is considered that ignoring it would put the tender at an unfair advantage; and were of the view that ignoring the breaches would indeed put the relevant tender at an unfair advantage); and
o did not satisfy the requirements and award criteria when assessed by reference to the assessment methodology and the relative importance of the criteria set out in the tender process.
As the Council has carried out a competitive tendering procedure and received no suitable tenders in response to that tender process, it is permitted to award a contract directly to a supplier (that is not an excluded supplier) pursuant to section 43 of the Act where it considers that an award following a competitive tendering procedure is not possible.
Given that no compliant bids were received in response to the Tender Notice, the Council is satisfied that an award following a competitive tendering procedure under section 19 is not possible in the circumstances and the Council now intends to award a contract directly to Eleanor Nursing and Social Care Limited.
The council has carried ou...
