Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Newham is initiating a Pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) titled "Commissioning Homes for Children Looked After and Care Leavers". This procurement process is classified under the social work and related services industry category and will take place in London, United Kingdom. The tender is currently in the planning stage, with the initial application round closing on 30th July 2021. The PDPS is set to run for an initial term of four years, starting on 25th June 2021, with a total estimated value of £182,790,000 specifically for Newham and up to £15,600,000,000 across all participating local authorities. This open procurement method allows multiple suppliers to tender for various service lots, encompassing accommodation and support services for looked after children and care leavers.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the sectors of children's care, social services, and accommodation support. Companies with relevant experience in providing semi-independent living services, fostering, and care home provision are particularly well-suited to compete. As the PDPS will accept bids throughout its duration and allow unsuccessful suppliers from previous rounds to reapply, businesses can strategically position themselves for ongoing contracts and collaborative opportunities with local authorities. Engaging in this process could foster growth by establishing partnerships that meet the increasingly pressing needs in children's care services.
