Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden is currently planning a procurement process titled "Camden Respite Rooms," aimed at providing immediate safe shelter for multiply disadvantaged homeless females. This initiative falls within the services industry category, specifically in social work services with accommodation. The location for this project is London, and it is classified as a "light touch" procurement under the relevant legal regime. The process is in the 'Planning' stage and is not yet a call for competition, serving as a pipeline notice for future procurement. The estimated contract period is planned from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. Interested parties should note that future tender notices are expected to be issued on 1st November 2025.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those providing accommodation and support to vulnerable groups. Since the projected services are funded by a grant from the Mayor's Office for Policing & Crime, businesses that can demonstrate an ability to effectively manage public funds and deliver high-quality social care services would be well-suited to compete. The procurement's focus on social services provides an excellent opportunity for SMEs to engage in government contracts, given its suitability profile. This could potentially foster business growth by establishing a reputation within the public sector and building connections for future opportunities.
