UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Greenwich intends to recommission homecare services across the borough through a framework agreement. The work is classified as domestic services and will be delivered in Greenwich. The planned framework is expected to have multiple lots. The council is exploring a development lot with lower volumes of work, intended to make participation more accessible to smaller and community-based providers, including organisations new to working with the council. A market engagement event is planned to discuss the proposed service and framework, building on earlier events and including a recap. Providers are invited to contribute their views as the council develops its approach.

This procurement is at planning stage: the council has stated its intention to recommission services, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use a framework agreement with multiple lots. The planned contract period runs from 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2035, with commencement targeted for late 2027. The council plans a formal market engagement event on 4 November 2026 at 10:30am via Microsoft Teams; engagement is not a condition of bidding and will confer no advantage in a later competition. Registration for the engagement event is expected by 31 December 2026. No estimated contract value or budget is stated. The proposed development lot is being explored with providers, rather than confirmed as a final lot structure.

The planned services may suit homecare providers able to deliver care in Greenwich and participate in a multi-lot framework. The council is specifically considering a lower-volume development lot to widen access for micro-enterprises, small businesses, co-operatives, community interest companies and other community-based organisations, including those new to council work. That design could be relevant to providers that would find larger volumes harder to accommodate, as well as established providers able to comment on workable lot sizes and service delivery. The market engagement is an opportunity for suppliers to inform the council’s developing approach before the competition. Providers should consider whether their service capacity and operating model could support the intended long-term framework; detailed service, qualification and accreditation requirements have not yet been set out.
