Home Care Dynamic Purchasing System
Newham Council extended its Home Care Dynamic Purchasing System until May 2027 to re-run procurement after flaws were identified.
Newham Council's Home Care Dynamic Purchasing System, which provides home care services, was extended until May 2027 by the council's Cabinet in October 2025. This decision followed the identification of flaws in the original procurement process, which had faced multiple challenges. The extension aims to ensure continued care for approximately 2,000 residents while a new procurement exercise is prepared.
The Cabinet agreed to extend the framework agreement specifically to allow time for the procurement exercise to be re-run. A report to the Cabinet meeting in October 2025 stated that flaws were identified in the moderation process and the content of notifications related to the original procurement. The re-run process is expected to take place before the May 2027 extension expires.
