Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest has successfully completed the procurement process for providing supported housing services for young people facing homelessness. This public authority, under the sub-central government classification, sought tenders for a contract intended to address the complex needs of vulnerable youth within the borough. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure beginning with a tender notice on 9th April 2025, and concluding with the award on 17th September 2025. The YMCA St. Paul's Group has been awarded this contract, which is scheduled to commence on 1st November 2025 and last through 31st October 2028, with a potential one-year extension. The total contract value is set at £917,600, covering health and social work services under the CPV classification 85000000, across the UK region.

This tender represents a substantial business opportunity for organisations within the health and social work sectors, particularly those experienced in managing housing services with a focus on young people's needs. Organisations like the awarded YMCA St. Paul's Group, especially those classified as large enterprises or VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations), are well-suited for such contracts due to their extensive resources and commitment to social value. With a significant contract value and scope for extensions, firms capable of implementing innovative and supportive service delivery models will find this contract an excellent opportunity for growth and expansion in the public sector. Businesses focusing on mental health and social support for at-risk youth could particularly benefit and excel in such endeavours.

Notice Title

Provision of Supported Housing for Young People

Notice Description

The Council of the London Borough of Waltham Forest ("the Authority") sought Tenders from suitably experienced and qualified organisations for the Contract for the Provision of Supported Housing for Young People within the borough. The Authority sought to appoint a provider to deliver the provision of Supported Housing for Young People. Young people who are either homeless or faced with homelessness face multiple challenges when trying to engage and use the services they need. Their support needs may be complex, and they may face challenging life circumstances, including because of abuse, exploitation or neglect. An additional barrier to accessing accommodation and services for this group is that they may have undiagnosed mental health problems or emotional difficulties that may restrict their capacity to address the risks that may cause their homelessness. To address these challenges the services commissioned under this specification will be required to adopt and embed the service delivery principles into day to day working practice.
