Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark is initiating a tender process for the "Southwark Works Framework", aimed at providing comprehensive employment support services in the community. This procurement falls under the category of "Other community, social and personal services" and is currently in the planning stage. The total estimated value of the framework is £15.8 million, and it covers a contract period running from 1st July 2019 to 30th June 2023. Key dates include the anticipated publication of the Contract Notice on 9th November 2018, and two meet-the-buyer events scheduled for 19th and 22nd November 2018 in London, which will facilitate engagement between potential providers and the contracting authority.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses offering tailored employment support services, particularly those with expertise in addressing the needs of vulnerable groups such as homeless individuals, young care leavers, and those with mental health issues. Businesses that are well-suited to compete include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of delivering specialised services within the ten defined service lots. Participation in this framework allows providers to engage with local authorities and enhance their service delivery capabilities across London.
