UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council is currently in the planning stage for a public procurement process related to the provision of supported accommodation services. This procurement, under the title "Provision of Supported Accommodation," aims to provide support for individuals with complex needs across various locations, including Bruce House and through the Move on and Resettlement Service. The industry category for this tender falls under health, social work, and community services. The expected contract period is from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031. A key date to note is the future notice date of 17th August 2026, marking the release of further procurement details. This initiative is part of a broader market engagement to understand the capacity of businesses to deliver support services for approximately 236 beds.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health, social work, and housing services to expand their offerings and contribute to the public sector. The planned procurement is particularly well-suited for SMEs and VCSEs due to its classification under the 'light touch' regime, making it accessible for a range of service providers. Companies capable of providing both accommodation and supportive services, or those capable of forming partnerships to offer these services in collaboration with landlords, could find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging in this process also offers the chance to shape service delivery for vulnerable groups and influence Westminster City Council's supported accommodation strategies. The procurement is backed by a gross budget of approximately £3 million, signalling substantial business growth potential for successful bidders.
