UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney is initiating a public procurement process for a Children and Family Services, Support Services Framework. This service-focused procurement is currently in the Planning stage and is aimed at creating a standardised, outcome-focused framework to replace existing spot purchasing arrangements. The process is classified under the 'Social work services' industry category (CPV 85310000) and will operate within the London region (UKI41). The procurement document indicates a planned contract period from 1st November 2026 to 30th October 2030, with a future notice date set for 1st June 2026. This tender aligns with the UK legal basis under the reference 2023/54, and involves a planned framework agreement approach.

For businesses in the social work sector, particularly those providing services for children and families, this tender presents substantial opportunities for growth by securing a long-term framework agreement with a sub-central government authority. Companies offering innovative and results-oriented support services would be well-suited to compete, as the framework aims to consolidate and simplify current purchasing processes. Businesses with a strong presence in or capacity to operate within the London region should find this procurement particularly advantageous, given its structured framework approach and significant contract duration.
