Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley commissioned a sensory support service for adults aged 18 and over living with hearing impairment, vision impairment or dual sensory loss. The service provides practical and emotional support, information, advice and guidance, with the aims of promoting independence, improving wellbeing and helping residents access appropriate specialist support. Delivery is for residents of the London Borough of Bromley. This is a health and social care and wider community, social and personal services requirement. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement was classified as a light-touch services regime and the requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 June 2026 following an open procedure. Kent Association for the Blind was selected for the single lot. The award is £1,393,000 excluding VAT, or £1,671,600 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a possible extension to 30 September 2033 at the council’s discretion, subject to performance review. Bids were assessed on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. Four bids were received and three reached the final stage. The tender submission deadline was 17 March 2026 at noon, and the evaluation and award period ended on 1 September 2026. A signature was scheduled for 31 July 2026.

This award demonstrates established demand from Bromley for specialist sensory support serving adults with hearing, vision or dual sensory loss. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to deliver practical and emotional support alongside reliable information, advice and guidance, while understanding how specialist interventions promote independence and wellbeing. Credibility would come from experience supporting people with sensory impairments, appropriate staff expertise, and the capacity to provide a consistent borough-wide service. The successful provider is a voluntary, community and social enterprise, and the procurement was expressly considered suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. Competitors should therefore be able to evidence strong service quality as well as a price-competitive operating model, reflecting the evaluation balance used for this requirement.
