Summary of the contracting process

North London NHS Foundation Trust is procuring voluntary and community sector services, focused on community health and wider community provision. The requirement is titled NLFT Voluntary and Community Sector Services and is intended to support the Trust’s service users through voluntary and community organisations. North East London NHS Foundation Trust is managing the tender process for the buyer. Delivery is associated with North London NHS services, with the buying organisation based at St Pancras Hospital in London and the procuring entity based in Essex. The requirement is a public service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. It is relevant to organisations delivering community-based health, wellbeing, social inclusion or related support services, particularly voluntary, community and social enterprise providers able to work with NHS service users.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a single-lot open procedure. Hestia Housing and Support was selected for the voluntary and community sector services, with an award value of £8,250,000 including gross value, dated 20 May 2026. A subsequent active contract with HESTIA HOUSING AND SUPPORT was signed on 28 July 2026 for £2,723,793, covering 1 August 2026 to 1 August 2027, with extensions permitted up to 1 August 2029 and a maximum total term of 36 months. The tender deadline was 23 April 2026 and the enquiry deadline was 7 April 2026. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 70%, price at 20% and social value at 10%. Three bids were received and one reached the final stage.

This procurement demonstrates established NHS demand for voluntary and community sector services delivered by a large VCSE provider. A credible competitor would need strong technical capability in community-based service delivery, as technical quality was the dominant evaluation factor, alongside a clear social value offer and competitive cost control. Providers should be able to set out an evidence-based service vision, demonstrate innovation against a detailed specification and operate within NHS terms and conditions. The requirement also indicates a need for measurable social inclusion activity: the contract metric requires identification and management of 300 active cases per borough, with reporting through Power BI every three months. Organisations able to manage substantial caseloads, produce reliable performance data and evidence outcomes for service users would be well placed for comparable work with this buyer.
