Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Islington commissioned a proactive telephone advice service for vulnerable older council tenants. The service involves calling tenants to promote preventative health services, including SHINE and winter vaccinations. This is a public health and telephone outreach requirement, delivered for Islington’s council tenant population. The procurement is categorised as health services. The awarded service covers delivery across England, including London. It is relevant to organisations with experience in contacting older or vulnerable people, providing clear health information by telephone, and linking residents with preventative services. Suppliers may also need to understand the needs of council tenants and work appropriately within a local authority’s public health and housing context.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was selected: Age Concern Islington. The contract is active and was signed on 30 June 2026. It runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. Its value is £29,991 excluding VAT, or £35,989.20 including VAT. The requirement was a below-threshold procurement, with the specific method recorded as unknown. It comprised one completed lot. The award covers health services and relates to the Winter Wellness Service. The contracting authority is the London Borough of Islington. The awarded supplier is Age Concern Islington. This outcome shows that the council used a single award for the complete requirement rather than splitting the service between multiple providers.

This procurement indicates demand for a focused telephone outreach service supporting vulnerable older residents. A credible future competitor would need reliable processes for identifying and contacting older people, trained staff able to give accurate and accessible preventative health information, and the ability to promote services such as SHINE and winter vaccinations. Experience working with vulnerable communities, older people or council tenants would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also favours organisations that can manage sensitive conversations, maintain appropriate records, protect personal information and make effective referrals to health services. Providers should be able to operate consistently across the relevant geography while maintaining a local-authority standard of safeguarding, service quality and accountability.
