Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden has awarded a contract for its Rough Sleeping Outreach Service, a vital initiative supporting individuals rough sleeping in Camden to access housing and support services. The outreach service is part of the broader 'Routes Off the Streets' programme and is categorised under Social work and related services. The procurement process has progressed from planning and tendering stages to awarding the contract. The contract, scheduled to start on 1st April 2026, will run for six years until 31st March 2032. The service will continue its multidisciplinary approach, offering interventions, structured support, and referrals. The standstill period concludes on 29th December 2025, and the estimated contract value is £10,283,912. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure method under the light-touch regime, ensuring transparency and competitive bidding.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in social services, particularly those skilled in supporting vulnerable populations. Organisations such as Single Homeless Project have successfully secured the contract, highlighting a preference for providers with expertise in tackling homelessness and providing holistic support. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to engage with similar tenders in this sector, especially if they possess the capability to deliver comprehensive outreach services. Businesses adept in forming partnerships with local authorities and stakeholders to deliver integrated care and support will find opportunities for growth through similar procurements.
