Care Services & Accommodation across
the County of Wiltshire
May 2005
We advised leading care charity The Orders of St John Care Trust on the successful
completion of a 20-year £240 million strategic partnership contract to provide residential
care services and accommodation across the County of Wiltshire. The contract between
Wiltshire County Council and The Orders of St John Care Trust will guarantee 490
care beds for county council clients. The residential care homes cater for older
people and older people with mental health problems.
Our team was led by Director, Mark Johnson, assisted by Preety Singh. The Council
was advised by in-house legal team (Ian Gibbons and Chris Whittington). The Trust
has built a successful relationship with the County Council over 5 years, which
has led to the renewal and widening of the contract until 2025.
Mark Johnson commented: “This contract is the culmination of 18 months of planning
and negotiations. Having assisted our client to win major partnership contracts
in Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, this will be a major new piece of business to
consolidate the Trust’s presence in the area. This type of complex partnership contract
is a particular specialism of ours and will become more common as government seeks
to entrust the delivery of more public services to the voluntary sector.”
Judy Seager, Wiltshire County Council cabinet member for adult care services said:
"I am delighted with the positive partnership the county council has built with
The Orders of St John Care Trust. The new contract will allow us to build upon the
very good services we deliver and to improve facilities at the care homes over the next 20 years."
Nigel Reed, Chief Executive of the Trust said: "Following on so soon after the opening
of our new 60-bed care home at Coombe End Court, Marlborough, we are particularly pleased to be entering into this new phase of our partnership with the county council
to provide and develop services for older people in Wiltshire."
