Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lewisham has completed a public procurement process titled "DELIVERY OF Lewisham Asylum Mental Health Contract," focusing on mental health services for asylum seekers. The procurement was categorised under services, specifically counselling services, with activities targeted at regions within the UKI44 area, United Kingdom. Initiated as a tender and concluded at the award and contract stage, this project was supported by a £40,000 grant from the Greater London Authority (GLA). The contract began on 5 January 2026 and is set to be fulfilled by 31 May 2026, with the direct procurement method used below the threshold level, meaning it was awarded without competition. The entirety of the contract relates to services to be completed by the end of May 2026.

This tender provides vital opportunities for businesses specialising in mental health services, particularly those focused on providing social support to vulnerable communities. It presents growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other organisations capable of addressing specific needs in mental health provision within the public sector. With ACTION FOR REFUGEES IN LEWISHAM already selected as a supplier, similar businesses could look to partnership and collaboration opportunities with local authorities like Lewisham Council, which identify and respond to community-specific mental health needs through funded programmes and initiatives.
