Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney has completed the procurement process for commissioning two new Children's Homes to cater for children looked after, with the homes to operate out of council-owned properties in Hackney, London. This procurement, under an "open" procurement method, was initiated to find experienced providers, resulting in an award made to Action for Children, a large-scale provider. The process addressed the complexities of staffing and OFSTED registration under the light-touch regime, with a focus on improving the quality of care in line with obligations under the Children Act 1989. The procurement, identified with the tender ID DN805257, entered the award stage on 1 June 2026 with a standstill period ending on 16 June 2026. The contract period starts on 18 June 2026 and runs until 17 June 2031, with possible extensions up to 2033.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in children's home services, particularly those with existing OFSTED registration and experience in delivering accredited care services. Enterprises experienced in health and social work services, especially those classified as public authority sub-central government services, stand to benefit significantly from the contract valued at approximately £15.16 million net. The procurement's open procedure with an emphasis on the light-touch regime facilitates the engagement of organisations that can demonstrate robust financial and operational capacity. Businesses, particularly large-scale operations, able to demonstrate an established service record with an existing management structure and staff capable of meeting rigorous quality standards, are well-suited to compete and grow through such government partnerships.
