Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lambeth is procuring a community reablement support service, classified as social services. The provider will supply reablement home care workers for Lambeth’s integrated reablement service, supporting people after illness or hospital admission to rebuild their independence. Workers will operate alongside clinical staff from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and Lambeth Council social workers and assessors. The service covers the full geographical extent of the London Borough of Lambeth. The successful provider must maintain a presence at the Intermediate Care Lambeth base at Ackerman Health Centre, Patmos Road, London, and attend regular multidisciplinary team meetings. This is a service opportunity suitable for organisations delivering short-term, outcome-focused home care and reablement support.

The procurement has reached tender: Lambeth invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. It uses two stages: a Conditions of Participation stage followed by a Single Tender stage. Electronic submission is allowed in English through Lambeth’s procurement portal. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the award decision was due by 30 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2031, with two optional one-year extensions available until 1 November 2033. The estimated value is £3,400,000 excluding VAT for the initial term, rising to £4,760,000 excluding VAT if both extensions are used. Price carries 70% of the evaluation, with quality criteria covering service delivery, independence and recovery, collaboration, safeguarding, equality, quality assurance, mobilisation and innovation.

The requirement suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises with experience in reablement, domiciliary care or related community support. Strong candidates will be able to provide and manage home care workers who help people regain independence after illness or hospital discharge, while working effectively within integrated health and social care teams. Providers need the operational capacity to cover Lambeth borough, maintain a regular base at the Intermediate Care Lambeth service, and participate in multidisciplinary meetings. The evaluation places substantial emphasis on quality as well as price, so bidders should be able to demonstrate safe service delivery, safeguarding, equality and inclusion, quality assurance, partnership working, outcome-focused recovery, effective mobilisation and transition, and practical service innovation.
