Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lambeth has completed a direct award procurement process for the contract titled "Integrated Community Equipment Direct Award" in the services industry category, specifically focusing on social work services. This procurement decision was prompted by the urgent need to maintain statutory services following the incumbent supplier's financial difficulties. The contract, estimated at £6,672,000, with a gross value of £8,006,400, was awarded to Provide Equipment Hub, a supplier based in Croydon, London. The contract period is set to begin on 1st August 2025 and end on 31st July 2026, with an option for a 12-month extension. This procurement was carried out using the direct award method under the rationale of urgency, as per legal framework UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the services sector, particularly those experienced in delivering essential social services. The direct award indicates a streamlined and urgent contracting process, making it suitable for businesses that can rapidly meet client needs. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like Provide Equipment Hub, which have demonstrated the ability to handle urgent service demands and support statutory service obligations, would be well-positioned to compete effectively in similar future opportunities. This procurement illustrates the potential for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to grow through government contracts in sectors where agility and prompt service delivery are critical.
