Summary of the contracting process

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board commissioned a community wellbeing support service for the North Kensington Recovery Programme, supporting communities affected by the Grenfell Tower fire. The appointed voluntary, community and faith sector organisation or partnership acts as the Wellbeing Support Lead. Its role is to coordinate a community-based wellbeing offer delivered through grant-funded services, including designing and managing funding allocation, developing referral pathways, promoting support through trusted networks, and assuring quality. The service must be culturally relevant, accessible and responsive to changing needs, while applying trauma-informed practice and community-led recovery principles. Delivery involves collaboration between local community organisations, the NHS and the wider local system in North Kensington, London. The procurement covers community, social and personal services.

The procurement has reached the award stage following a completed, single-stage competitive Light Touch open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. One lot was evaluated with quality weighted at 80% and cost at 20%; economic and technical selection requirements applied. Five bids reached the final stage, including five from SMEs and three from voluntary, community or social enterprises. Westway Trust was selected on 24 August 2026, subject to a standstill period ending on 9 September 2026. The award is valued at £900,000 excluding VAT and £1,080,000 including VAT. The three-year contract is scheduled to run from 23 October 2026 to 22 October 2029. The bid deadline was 23 July 2026, enquiries closed on 21 July, and the award decision period ended on 20 August 2026.

This award shows sustained NHS demand for locally rooted wellbeing coordination supporting communities affected by major trauma. A credible future competitor would need to be a voluntary, community or faith sector organisation, or a partnership with that reach, and able to build trusted relationships with Grenfell-affected communities in North Kensington. Relevant capability includes managing grant-funded community services, allocating and monitoring funding, designing effective referral pathways, and coordinating delivery across community organisations, the NHS and wider public services. Providers should be able to demonstrate strong quality assurance, cultural relevance, accessibility and responsiveness to changing needs. Trauma-informed practice and community-led recovery are central to the requirement, so evidence of applying these approaches and working collaboratively across a local system would strengthen future credibility.
