Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Newham is planning a Meet The Buyer Event related to the Newham Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (PDPS) for Lot 3, which focuses on Supported Lodgings. This event, scheduled for 26th January 2026 from 11:30 to 12:30, is part of the planning stage of the procurement process. It falls under the social work and related services industry category and will be conducted virtually. The event aims to provide organisations with an opportunity to discuss the requirements of joining Newham PDPS and address any queries they might have about the tendering process. While this is not an invitation to tender, it is integral for potential suppliers interested in engaging with Newham's framework for commissioning homes for looked after children and care leavers in the London region.

This tender offers significant business growth potential for organisations specialising in social work and related services, particularly those equipped to provide supported lodgings. By attending the Meet The Buyer Event, businesses can gain insights into the expectations and requirements of the PDPS framework, network with other stakeholders, and obtain crucial information to aid in their preparation for future procurement opportunities. Regional or local authorities or any service providers focusing on independent fostering and supported accommodation for youth, especially those with compliance under Ofsted regulation, would find this event beneficial as it could lead to longer-term engagement with the London Borough of Newham's procurement process.
