NHS Care Home Contract Awarded

The NHS Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) has officially awarded a contract for miscellaneous health services as part of a direct award process under the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at £1, will cover care home placements, ensuring necessary health services are provided to the community.

The contractor selected for this service is Pharos Care Limited, based in Nottingham, which has been recognized for its capacity to meet the standards required by the NHS. The service will run from April 1, 2024, until March 31, 2026, and is aimed at addressing the needs of care home placements within the jurisdiction of the NHS Coventry ICB.

The direct award process was utilized because the existing provider satisfactorily fulfills current contract obligations, making them the optimal choice for continued service provision. Notably, this contract does not guarantee activity, and the total value may vary based on delivered services.

This contract award is a significant step in maintaining and improving health service delivery within the West Midlands, particularly in Warwickshire, where the demands for quality care services are ever-growing. As health care continues to evolve, partnerships like this will play a crucial role in the fulfillment of community health needs.
