Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden is undertaking procurement extensions to its existing contracts for Mental Health Supported Living Services, classified under social work and related services (CPV code 85300000). Recognising the importance of continuity in these vital services, the borough is proposing extensions of up to twelve months for contracts originally awarded between January and August 2020, which were set to expire in 2025. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase as of January 2025, with the proposed changes allowing the services to continue seamlessly until new contracts can be competitively tendered in Spring/Summer 2025. The services will be delivered across Camden (region UKI31, London), ensuring accommodation-based support for individuals with serious mental illnesses.

This tender extension offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services with accommodation, particularly those capable of fulfilling statutory duties under the Care Act 2014 and the Mental Health Act 1983. Large-scale organisations, such as St Mungo Community Housing Association and The Riverside Group trading as One Housing Group, which currently hold these contracts, are well-suited to compete in the upcoming competitive process. Engaging in this extension not only provides continuity for service users but also offers businesses a chance to demonstrate their capability in managing complex and critical public health services, positioning them favourably for future long-term contracts with the London Borough of Camden.

Notice Title

Extensions to Contracts for Mental Health Supported Living Services

Notice Description

The Mental Health Supported Living pathway provides important accommodation-based support for up to 199 people with serious mental illness, which includes conditions such as psychotic disorders (including schizophrenia), bipolar disorder and personality disorder. The Contracting Authority is not awarding new contracts, but is proposing short term extensions of between six and twelve months for the services to continue. See section II.2.4 for further detail.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This is not a new contract opportunity, but rather a VEAT notice to inform the market that the Contracting Authority is seeking to extend its existing contracts for Mental Health Supported Living Services which were originally awarded between January and August 2020 and are due to expire on either 31 March 2025, 30 April 2025, 31 May 2025 and 30 September 2025. The extension periods will range between six and twelve months co-aligning end dates to 31 March 2026. The Contracting Authority is currently undergoing thorough engagement with key stakeholders, including residents, to redesign the service as well as engaging with the market on its proposals in anticipation of a full competitive process in Spring/Summer 2025. These limited extensions are required to ensure the Contracting Authority meets its legal and statutory duties under the Care Act (2014) and Section 117 of the Mental Health Act (1983), until such time that the successful contractors take responsibilities for these services under the new longer term contracts.

Procurement Information

This VEAT notice relates to modifications to seven contracts originally awarded between January and August 2020. The proposed extensions are based on substantively the existing terms and conditions and does not render the contracts materially different in character as the same services are being provided. The Contracting Authority does not consider that if the contracts had originally been advertised to include these extensions that it would have attracted any different participants or candidates or that the outcome of the original procurements would have been any different.
