Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, acting on behalf of the West London Housing Partnership, is currently engaged in the procurement process for the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Contract, specifically targeted at support services for West London females with complex needs. This initiative encompasses multiple London Boroughs, including Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, and Kensington and Chelsea. The procurement process is in the award stage, with the contract signed on 11 March 2026. This contract aims to provide accommodation and dedicated services for women at risk of rough sleeping, focusing on urgent needs due to uncertain long-term funding. The service contract, valued at £407,285 excluding VAT, will run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, under a regime classified as "lightTouch".

This procurement process offers significant growth opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social work services. The contract calls for the provision of a suitable building and intensive support services that cater for women with complex needs. Businesses with expertise in delivering high-standard accommodation and trauma-informed care services are particularly well-positioned to compete for such contracts. As this procurement is conducted without competition, due to urgency, businesses with established infrastructure and capacity to quickly mobilise services will stand out. This could be a transformative opportunity for organisations capable of providing rapid response and effective support arrangements in the specified West London areas, fostering collaboration with local councils and enhancing service delivery capabilities.

Notice Title

Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Contract - West London Females with Complex Needs Support Services

Notice Description

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, acting on behalf of the West London Housing Partnership, has awarded this contract for the provision of dedicated accommodation and support services for women with complex needs who are experiencing, or are at risk of, rough sleeping. It is a core service necessary for the prevention and relief of homelessness and rough sleeping across the West London boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). The direct award, for a period of 12 months was required on urgency grounds to ensure that there is no loss of service and associated critical infrastructure, funded by a one-off top up grant. This is due to uncertainty around the longer term funding arrangements. This Contract is below the Light Touch Threshold. The West London Female Rough Sleepers with Complex Needs Service provides a 9-bed assessment hub which is staffed 24/7 and a further 11 supported flats, all located in Brent, for female rough sleepers with complex needs from across the West London subregion.

        "description": "The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, acting on behalf of the West London Housing Partnership, has awarded this contract for the provision of dedicated accommodation and support services for women with complex needs who are experiencing, or are at risk of, rough sleeping. It is a core service necessary for the prevention and relief of homelessness and rough sleeping across the West London boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC). The direct award, for a period of 12 months was required on urgency grounds to ensure that there is no loss of service and associated critical infrastructure, funded by a one-off top up grant. This is due to uncertainty around the longer term funding arrangements. This Contract is below the Light Touch Threshold. The West London Female Rough Sleepers with Complex Needs Service provides a 9-bed assessment hub which is staffed 24/7 and a further 11 supported flats, all located in Brent, for female rough sleepers with complex needs from across the West London subregion.",
