UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is planning to recommission Homecare services within Greenwich, focusing on integrated health and social care models, enhanced digital health technologies, and outcome-focused care. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a preliminary market engagement notice published in May 2026. A formal market engagement event is scheduled for 22 June 2026 to foster discussions on the evolving Homecare landscape. The target contract commencement is set for October 2027, with contracts lasting until September 2035. These services fall under the social work services category, with the procurement adhering to the UK's light touch regime and aiming to engage SMEs and VCSEs.

This procurement process creates significant opportunities for businesses operating in the Homecare sector, particularly those focusing on innovation in community-based care and digital technologies. The market engagement events provide a platform for providers, including micro-enterprises, cooperatives, and charities, to network with local authority commissioners and discuss the integration of health and social care services. Businesses offering services that align with the Borough’s priorities—such as enhancing prevention strategies and fostering independence—will be well-suited to compete in this tender process, potentially leading to long-term contracts and collaborative partnerships.
