Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets had initiated the procurement process for the "HAC6115 Antill Road Learning Disability Day Service" under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services. The process involved an open procedure aimed at delivering high-quality, personalised, community-based day activities at a council-owned building on Antill Road, E3. The contract, initially set to start from October 2025 and run for up to 18 months, was eventually cancelled on 15 September 2025 to allow a comprehensive review and alignment of specifications with the Council's strategic priorities. The procurement was initially in the tender phase, then moved to the award phase with a contract period planned from 1 October 2025 to 31 March 2027.

This type of tender created significant opportunities for businesses offering innovative and creative support services in the health and social care sector. Companies specialising in community-based support services with the capacity to provide personalised care could have benefitted greatly from participating in this tender. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with a focus on social value were well-suited to compete, given the tender's emphasis on quality and social value alongside cost. Despite the contract's cancellation, revisiting the tender when re-issued could still open renewed opportunities for suitable businesses to establish or expand their presence within the Tower Hamlets area.
