Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames focuses on implementing a "Strength Based Practice Roadmap across Adult Social Care" and is categorised under project management consultancy services. This procurement, identified as a sub-central government public authority initiative, was completed through a limited competition method, falling below the usual threshold requirements. The timeline for the awarded contract spanned from 3rd November 2025 to 6th February 2026. The contracting process saw its official conclusion on 27th March 2026, following an award to the Social Care Institute for Excellence, with operations intended to serve the Kingston upon Thames area (UKI63 region). Key legislative adherence was to the UK Public General Acts, 2023/54.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing consultancy services specifically in the social care sector. Organisations that specialise in adult social care practices, particularly those focused on strength-based approaches, would find this contract beneficial to expand their project portfolios within public sector health. Given the limited competition approach, smaller to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like the Social Care Institute for Excellence which secured the contract, could find favourable opportunities in similar tenders. The focus on consultancy indicates an opportunity for experienced service providers in management consulting tailored towards public welfare and policy implementation.
