UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley is buying domiciliary care for borough residents, covering adults and older people as well as children and young people, including children with complex needs. The services are intended to support people to maintain or improve their independence and promote health and wellbeing. The procurement is split between patch-based care for adults and older people, general adult care, and standard and complex-needs care for children and young people. Services will be delivered in the London Borough of Bromley. The framework may also be used by the Bromley Integrated Care Board to commission continuing healthcare packages. This is a local care-services requirement, suited to providers with the workforce and service capability to deliver home-based support across one or more of these client groups.

The procurement has been awarded through an open procedure, with three lots completed and awards made on 16 September 2026. Lot 1, patch-based adult and older people’s care, was awarded to seven providers: Haven Care, Unique Personnel, Priory Care Services, Ozumba Training and Consultancy Services, Luu-Bridgets Healthcare, Supreme Care Services and River Garden Care. Its value is £15 million excluding VAT. Lot 2, general adult care, was awarded to the 69 providers named in the award outcome, at £5.6 million excluding VAT. Lot 3, children and young people’s care, was awarded to 36 providers named in the outcome, at £1.5 million excluding VAT. Each lot runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2030. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%; quality covered personalised care, safeguarding and information governance, with workforce and local delivery also assessed for Lot 1 and a pass/fail children’s-services question for Lot 3.

The outcome shows demand for a broad, multi-provider domiciliary care framework in Bromley, with separate routes for patch-based adult and older people’s services, general adult care, and children and young people, including complex needs. Providers competing for a future requirement would need to demonstrate a CQC rating of Good or above and have a registered office in Bromley or a neighbouring authority. For the patch-based route, the stated threshold included annual turnover of at least £3 million. Financial standing was assessed through credit scoring, with further checks against debtor days, current ratio and debt-to-equity measures where required. Credible providers also need strong evidence on personalised care, safeguarding and information governance; patch providers need to evidence workforce delivery and local service delivery, while children’s providers need to meet the specific children’s-services pass/fail requirement. SMEs and voluntary or community providers were identified as suitable for the lots.
