## Description
The London Borough of Hillingdon is awarding two providers for the provision of nursing care home beds under two Lots described below under block contracts for a period of three years. This service is to support timely discharge from hospital for residents who require short-term support in a care home. 
Lot 1: Ten short-term nursing care home beds for people who are non-weight bearing that can support general nursing and nursing dementia needs. The contract associated with this lot will be for a three-year period.
Lot 2: Five short-term nursing care homes beds for people who are weight bearing but have nursing dementia or general nursing needs. The contract associated with this lot will be for three years.
A competitive tender for the provision was published on the 18th of January 24 and closed on the 23rd of Feb 24. Unfortunately, no qualifying tenders were received. As the market has not provided a solution to address the need the Council is able under procurement regulations to negotiate with the providers and make a direct award.
This notice represents the direct award. Rather than the tendered period of a 3 plus 3 year opportunity the direct award contract is for 3 years in total.
