Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Harrow is procuring a personalised, regulated care and wellbeing service for residents aged 55 and over who live at Ewart House, an extra care housing scheme in Harrow. The service is for people with frailty, dementia, physical or sensory disabilities, mild or moderate learning disabilities, or enduring mental health needs, where they meet the National Eligibility Criteria under the Care Act 2014 and are Harrow residents or the Council’s social care responsibility. Ewart House is owned and operated by a local housing association and provides 47 affordable-rent extra care units. This is a health and social care services opportunity, covering the delivery of ongoing care and wellbeing support within the housing scheme.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses staged assessment: conditions of participation are pass/fail, experienced questions are scored, and up to five highest-scoring bidders proceed to the Invitation to Tender stage. The tender deadline is 30 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The intended award date is 16 November 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option to extend by up to two years, at the Council’s discretion, in periods. The estimated value is £7,000,000 excluding VAT, or £8,400,000 including VAT. Evaluation is 55% quality and 45% price; a minimum quality or technical score of 32% is required before price is assessed.

This opportunity suits regulated care providers with experience delivering personalised care and wellbeing services in extra care housing. Suppliers should be able to support older people and adults with complex or overlapping needs, including frailty, dementia, physical or sensory disabilities, learning disabilities and enduring mental health needs. Relevant organisations will need the capability to deliver services aligned with assessed social care needs and the National Eligibility Criteria under the Care Act 2014. The staged competition favours businesses able to demonstrate experience through scored responses, then produce strong quality and technical method statements before submitting commercial information. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist local or community-based providers as well as larger care organisations.
