Summary of the contracting process

The Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) is planning a procurement process for a new supported living initiative titled "STEP DOWN BEDS & WORKERS." This project falls under the "Hospital Services" industry category and encompasses areas within Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Kensington & Chelsea, and Westminster. Currently in the planning stage, the initiative aims to begin in September 2025 and involves offering 30-40 supported living beds with 24-hour staffing. The primary objective is to facilitate early discharge from mental health wards, providing continuous support and enabling patients to integrate into the community. A market engagement outcome has already taken place, and detailed tendering will follow, inviting previously engaged bidders to participate. Key future dates include January 17, 2025, when additional notices will be communicated.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in supported living, mental health services, and hospital care management. Companies that can provide comprehensive patient care services, coordinate with healthcare teams, and manage recovery-focused environments will find this project particularly well-suited to their expertise. The initiative requires not just bed provisioning, but also dedicated "step down workers" to assist with patient discharges and integration into the community, creating avenues for businesses with strong healthcare and social care capabilities to grow and expand their operations by securing this contract.
