Summary of the contracting process

Royal Borough of Greenwich procured respite and short-break services for people with learning disabilities at Kemsing Road in London. The service is intended to provide planned respite for carers and help prevent breakdowns in care arrangements. It falls within health and social work services. The requirement concerns the delivery of care and support to people with learning disabilities, alongside respite provision for their carers. The council is the buying organisation. The awarded supplier, Outlook Care, is a large voluntary, community and social enterprise based in Colchester. The service is delivered in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, at the Kemsing Road location.

This below-threshold procurement used a light-touch regime and was divided into one lot. The process is complete and the contract was awarded to Outlook Care. The award was made on 31 July 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £385,493.70 excluding VAT, or £462,592.44 including VAT.

This procurement is relevant to providers of respite, short-break and social care services for people with learning disabilities. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the operational ability to provide reliable care and support at a local service setting, while meeting the needs of people with learning disabilities and their carers. The requirement indicates demand for services that protect continuity of care and reduce the risk of care arrangements breaking down. Outlook Care’s award shows that the buyer accepted a large voluntary, community and social enterprise as the provider for this requirement. Organisations with established learning-disability services, suitable staffing capacity and experience supporting carers would be well placed when considering comparable work from this buyer.
