UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for a project titled "Transitions Accommodation Pathway for Children and Young Adults with Complex Autism and Learning Disabilities." This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on social work and related services. The procurement is targeted at various regions within the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. A virtual market engagement event has been scheduled for 24th June 2026 from 9:30 to 11:00 am to provide updates on the project developments. Interested parties are encouraged to register by 23rd June 2026 to participate in the event that will be held on Google Meet.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in accommodation and care services for individuals with complex needs. The anticipated contract value exceeds £1 million, providing a significant financial incentive. The procurement process is well-suited to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), with a contract period starting from May 2027 and concluding in April 2032. The buying organisation, London Borough of Sutton, aims to collaborate with experienced service providers to innovate in accommodation-based alternatives to hospital admissions, potentially involving a joint venture with health partners. Businesses experienced in handling high-risk behaviours and offering bespoke support services for children and young adults with special needs are particularly encouraged to compete for this opportunity.
