The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is currently in the planning stage of commissioning a Supported Lodgings Programme aimed at providing welfare services for Care Leavers aged 16 and above, including Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically under welfare services for children and young people, with the delivery location specified as region UKI33, United Kingdom. Businesses are invited to submit their Expression of Interest by 30th April 2026. The programme anticipates a start date around 1st September 2026, with the contract period extending until September 2028 or possibly longer, depending on renewal options. The procurement method involves a light touch, suitable for sub-central government public authorities, offering a total contract value of £150,000 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses to partner with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in delivering vital services to young people. Firms specializing in welfare services, particularly those with experience in offering supported lodgings or similar models, are well-suited for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given their potentially flexible and community-focused approaches. Successful bidders will be able to leverage their expertise in care services to expand their portfolio and gain recognition within the public sector. The focus on models incorporating dedicated keyworkers could appeal to businesses that can provide enhanced support to the youth hosted under the programme.
