Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Lewisham commissioned an independent review of its Independent Living Service. The work covers whether the existing service model remains fit for purpose in response to demographic change, financial pressures and housing demand. The scope includes reviews of individual schemes, engagement with stakeholders, benchmarking against comparable provision, appraisal of future options and an implementation roadmap. This is an evaluation and strategic consultancy service, classified as evaluation consultancy services (CPV 79419000). The work is for Lewisham’s service and housing context in London, with the buying organisation based at Laurence House in Catford. The procurement comprised one completed lot and was awarded to Housing LIN Enterprises Ltd, an SME consultancy based in Stroud.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Housing LIN Enterprises Ltd on 13 July 2026 following a below-threshold limited competition. Three bids were received, including three from SMEs and three from voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award and contract value is £31,000 excluding VAT, or £37,200 including VAT. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 8 November 2026. The selected supplier will deliver the single lot covering the full review requirement. The recorded outcome is an active award and active contract. The available process information identifies the limited competition route; the award basis is the assessment of the submitted bids.

This procurement demonstrates demand for specialist consultancy that can review supported or independent living services in a local-authority setting and turn evidence into practical decisions. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to combine service evaluation with housing and social-care sector knowledge, demographic analysis, financial and demand assessment, stakeholder engagement, benchmarking and options appraisal. It would also need to produce a clear implementation roadmap rather than only a diagnostic report. The successful supplier was an SME, and all three bids recorded at the final stage came from SMEs, indicating that the requirement was accessible to focused specialist firms rather than limited to large consultancies. Relevant experience with councils, independent living schemes and service redesign would strengthen a supplier’s position.
