Nottinghamshire County Council Awards Care Contract

Nottinghamshire County Council has officially awarded a contract for residential care placement services on October 1, 2024. The total value of the contract is approximately £1,642,185.48, and it has been given to St Andrew's Healthcare, a renowned provider based in Northampton. This announcement follows a restricted procedure, during which the council received two tenders for this essential service aimed at supporting individuals with mental health conditions, learning disabilities, or physical disabilities.

St Andrew's Healthcare will be responsible for delivering quality care and support services as part of the contract. The council's decision to award the contract was influenced heavily by the assessment criteria, which prioritized quality (60% weighting) over price (40% weighting). This focus on quality underscores the council's commitment to providing excellent care for its residents.

The residential care placement services will be delivered in the East Midlands, specifically in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Local authorities such as Nottinghamshire County Council play a critical role in ensuring that public services meet the needs of the community, particularly in the health sector. The council is dedicated to transparency and efficiency in its procurement processes, as demonstrated by the awarding of this contract.
