Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hounslow is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Children's Home-Based Care Services." This procurement, which falls under the services industry category, aims to engage suppliers for social work services without accommodation. Located in the Hounslow area of London, this initiative is part of a market engagement exercise rather than a formal tendering process. An online Market Engagement event is scheduled for 6th June 2025, with a submission deadline for the Soft Market Testing set for 3rd June 2025. This engagement is intended to inform future commissioning decisions and shape the specification for the services required. The procurement is subject to a 'light touch' regime and is above the threshold, indicating a substantial opportunity.

This particular procurement offers business growth opportunities for companies specialising in social work services, especially those that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). While participation in the current market engagement exercise is voluntary, it presents a strategic opportunity for businesses to showcase their expertise and potentially influence the future formal tender process. Companies looking to expand their services within the public sector, particularly those with experience in providing children's care services, will find this engagement beneficial for understanding market expectations and preparing for subsequent procurement stages.
