Essex Cares Ltd
Harrow Council is currently seeking a new community equipment provider, having previously been unable to proceed with Essex Cares Ltd for similar services.
Harrow Council is currently working to secure a new community equipment provider following the compulsory liquidation of NRS Healthcare in July 2025. On 19 September 2025, Councillor Paul Osborn, Leader of the Council, was asked to delegate authority to officers to enter into contract arrangements with alternative providers to ensure continuity of care for residents.
This situation follows Harrow Council's previous negotiations with Essex Cares Ltd, a company that provides community equipment services, which were unable to proceed. Islington Council also initially selected Essex Cares Ltd for a contract but was unable to enter into the agreement.
