UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Havering is planning a procurement process titled "Children Placement Framework," focusing on services within the health and social work industry category. This initiative, characterised by a light-touch procurement regime, involves establishing a framework or dynamic purchasing system for foster care, children's residential care, and home provision for individuals aged 0 to 19, and up to 25 years with Special Educational Needs (SEN). The contracting process is in the planning stage, with significant dates including the published Pipeline Notice on 23 May 2025 and a future notice anticipated on 1 September 2025. Located in Romford, Havering, the procurement seeks service delivery within the United Kingdom, particularly the UKI region, with the contract period expected to commence in April 2026 and conclude in March 2031.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those offering foster care and residential care solutions. Companies experienced in frameworks and those prepared to engage in dynamic purchasing systems are well-suited to compete, especially if they can provide tailored services for the specified age groups, including those with special education needs. Businesses looking to expand their footprint in the UKI region, especially under a public authority mandate, can benefit from collaborating with the London Borough of Havering in fulfilling this pressing social need. The involvement in such a framework could lead to sustained partnerships and long-term contracts, providing stable revenue streams over the planned contract duration.
