UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Royal Borough of Greenwich commissioned floating support services for people with learning disabilities. The service is intended to help people sustain their tenancies and reduce tenancy breakdown, safeguarding incidents, hospital admissions and increased stress for carers. It is a social work service delivered in London, specifically within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The requirement covers continued provision of support to people with learning disabilities, rather than a new construction, goods supply or general consultancy requirement. The service is part of the light-touch regime for social and other specific services. The selected provider, Choice Support, is a large organisation based in Maidstone. Organisations with expertise in learning-disability support, tenancy sustainment and safeguarding will find the subject matter most relevant.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award to Choice Support. The award date and contract signature date were 31 July 2026. The contract period recorded for the signed contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, while the procurement description states a service period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded contract value is £106,592.01 excluding VAT and £127,910.41 including VAT. It was below the applicable threshold, with the procurement method recorded as below threshold – unknown, and used the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot and one active award. The evaluation basis was continuation of the existing provision by the named provider, rather than a competitive tender.

This award indicates established demand from Royal Borough of Greenwich for specialist, person-centred support for adults with learning disabilities. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience of helping people maintain tenancies, manage risks and avoid safeguarding incidents, hospital admission and placement breakdown. Providers should be able to work alongside people in their homes and communities, coordinate effectively with social care, health and housing services, and respond to changing support needs. The requirement also points to the importance of continuity, safeguarding practice, reliable staffing and outcomes that reduce pressure on carers. Organisations already delivering floating support or related learning-disability services in London, including social enterprises, charities and specialist care providers, are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
