Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden sought one contract for a housing-related support service for vulnerable single adults with medium to high support needs. The service forms part of Camden’s Adult Pathway and is intended for single adults who have experienced homelessness. It involves accommodation-based support to help residents develop the life skills needed to move into more independent living. The provider must supply accommodation across one or more properties in the London Borough of Camden, with a minimum of 132 units. The procurement is for social work services with accommodation, including support delivered alongside housing rather than personal care or domiciliary care. The service is classified as a light-touch public service and is relevant to organisations operating supported accommodation, homelessness services and pathways into independent living.

The procurement reached tender: Camden invited offers through an open procedure. It was a single-lot contract, with electronic submissions allowed in English. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date was 2 August 2026. The contract period was 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2033, with a possible maximum extent to 31 March 2032 recorded for the lot, and renewal rights. The estimated contract value was £14,898,324 including tax. Evaluation was based on 40% price and 60% quality, covering implementation, service methodology, staffing, safeguarding, partnership working, equality, diversity and inclusion, quality management and social value. The procurement was terminated: no tender progressed beyond the mandatory participation requirements, so Camden decided not to enter into a contract.

This opportunity suited specialist homelessness and supported-housing providers able to manage accommodation-based services for adults with medium to high support needs. Bidders needed at least three years’ experience delivering accommodation-based support to homeless adults, excluding personal care, homecare and domiciliary care. They also needed experience of an accommodation-based support contract with an annual value of at least £500,000, including evidence of the number of units and residents supported in each contract year. The requirement called for capacity to provide at least 132 units in Camden, across one or more properties, and the ability to support residents towards more independent living. Strong bids would demonstrate robust safeguarding, staffing and management arrangements, partnership working, quality control, equality and inclusion, service delivery and social value.
