UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council is planning a procurement process titled "Short breaks, respite & passenger assistance" aimed at providing social work services without accommodation for children. This initiative falls under the services category and will be implemented through a multi-lot framework. Currently in the planning stage, a formal notice was published on 23rd May 2025 and indicates that the procurement process is projected to commence on 1st January 2026, lasting until 31st December 2029. As the process is in its early stages, it serves as a planned opportunity rather than an immediate one. This procurement will take place in London, under the jurisdiction of Westminster City Council, a sub-central government public authority.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those experienced in offering services such as short breaks and respite care for children. Companies capable of providing passenger assistance will also find this procurement a viable opportunity to engage in long-term contractual agreements. Businesses within this sector, especially those aiming to expand their operations in the public sector, would benefit from participating in this planned framework as it promises growth through sustained government contracts. Engaging early in the planning stages can position businesses advantageously when the tender officially opens.
