Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark commissioned social inclusion supported housing services for people with multiple and complex needs that can lead to social exclusion. The service is intended to promote social inclusion and support people where mental health needs commonly occur alongside homelessness, criminal justice involvement, substance misuse or social care needs. Provision operates across several buildings in Southwark, with the requirements divided according to the level of support needed and whether a building is available for use. This is a social work and related service (CPV 85300000), within the services category. The commissioning model is relevant to supported housing providers, housing associations, specialist social care organisations and voluntary or community organisations able to deliver coordinated accommodation-based support in Southwark.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. Bids closed on 28 June 2024 at 12:00. The original estimated value was £17,000,000. An award dated 31 March 2026 selected Turning Point Services Ltd, Peabody Trust, Southside Partnership and Hestia Housing and Support. The awarded value is £14,496,441, with the awarded contract running from 6 July 2026 to 5 July 2031. The procurement was divided into separate lots based on support level and building availability. The award outcome shows the four suppliers jointly receiving the same awarded value and contract period in two active award records. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

This requirement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Southwark for accommodation-based support for people with complex and overlapping needs. A credible future competitor would need proven supported housing delivery across multiple buildings, with the operational capacity to provide different levels of support according to residents’ needs and accommodation availability. Relevant experience would include mental health support, homelessness services, work with people involved in the criminal justice system, substance misuse support and social care coordination. Providers should be able to promote social inclusion rather than deliver a single-issue service, and manage partnership working across housing and support functions. The procurement’s suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations indicates that specialist providers, consortia and local partners may be well placed to develop a competitive delivery model.
