Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden is currently in the tender stage for a project titled "Mental Health Supported Living - Women's Only Service" within the social services sector. This initiative focuses on delivering gender-specific, trauma-responsive support for women with high support needs in established shared accommodation. The tender employs an open procurement method, inviting bids for the operation and management of this service model. Key dates include the enquiry period ending on 25th March 2026 and the tender period closing on 1st April 2026. The anticipated award date is set for 3rd July 2026, with the contract expected to begin on 1st October 2026. Located in London, United Kingdom, this procurement offers a significant contract value of £3,575,000 GBP under a light touch regime aimed at sub-central government entities.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services with accommodation. Organisations with a proven track record in mental health supported living, particularly those familiar with gender-specific service delivery, are encouraged to apply. The service model requires a minimum of three years’ relevant experience and prior delivery of contracts valued at £250,000 per annum. Suitable contenders include small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), who can leverage the opportunity to enhance their service offerings and expand within the borough and regional markets. The contract allows for renewal, potentially extending the service longevity and continuous engagement with Camden Council, thereby fostering long-term business relationships and stability.
