Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley commissioned a sensory support service for residents aged 18 and over with hearing impairment, vision impairment or dual sensory loss. The service is intended to promote independence and wellbeing, and help residents access specialist support. It provides practical and emotional support, information, advice and guidance. This is a health and social care service delivered in the London Borough of Bromley. The requirement covers the borough’s adult population with sensory support needs, rather than the supply of equipment alone.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Kent Association for the Blind. The award was made on 26 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 September 2026. Its value is £1,393,000 excluding VAT (£1,671,600 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an option to extend to 30 September 2033 at the council’s discretion, subject to performance review and budget availability. The council used an open procedure. The single lot was evaluated on price, weighted at 60%, and quality, weighted at 40%. Four bids were received, with three reaching the final stage.

This award shows that Bromley buys a specialist, borough-wide support service for adults with hearing, vision or dual sensory loss. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to provide practical and emotional support alongside information, advice and guidance, and the expertise to help people maintain independence and wellbeing. Relevant experience delivering specialist sensory support to adults, understanding the needs of people with hearing and vision impairments, and the ability to provide an accessible service across Bromley would be important. The council assessed quality as well as price, so suppliers would need a convincing service model and evidence of delivery capability, not simply a low-cost offer. The successful provider is a large voluntary and community organisation; the opportunity was also marked as suitable for smaller businesses and such organisations.
