Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest initiated a procurement process for the provision of supported housing services for single homeless adults within the borough, with the aim of appointing a single provider for this service. The procurement utilised an open procedure and was classified under the health services industry category. The tender was active with a planned contract period starting from 1st July 2025 through 30th June 2028, with potential extensions up to 30th June 2030. The total contract value was set at £810,000 over the possible five-year period, with a maximum of £162,000 per annum. However, as of 1st August 2025, this procurement was cancelled due to required amendments in the service specification, which indicated the need for a more detailed management plan for the services.

This tender initially offered significant opportunities for organisations specialising in supported housing services, particularly those with experience working with vulnerable populations such as single homeless adults facing complex challenges. Businesses with capabilities in integrated service delivery, including mental health support and housing management, would have been well-positioned to compete. Although the original procurement was cancelled, organisations interested in future opportunities would benefit from monitoring updates or revised tenders as the London Borough of Waltham Forest continues to address this crucial service provision.
