Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden Council is seeking to extend its existing contract for the Camden Respite Rooms service, which provides a 15-bed supported short stay hostel for women who are sleeping rough or homeless with complex needs. This tender, classified under the industry category of social work services with accommodation, aims to extend the service for an additional 12 months from 1 April 2025. The procurement process is at the award stage, with a 10-day standstill period implemented before finalising the contract extension. The total contract value is £650,160, and the service is fully funded by a grant from the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime. The contract will be executed following the standstill period, provided there are no legal challenges.

This extension provides an opportunity for stakeholders within the social services sector to continue delivering critical support to a vulnerable population. The contract is particularly suited for businesses specialised in providing social care and support for homeless individuals, given its focus on women with complex needs. The procurement method used is limited and negotiated without the prior publication of a contract notice, ensuring continuity of service by retaining the current supplier, Single Homeless Project. This approach facilitates continued collaboration with the grant funder and stakeholders to plan for future services beyond April 2026.
