Summary of the contracting process

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board procured a community-based post-stroke support service for City and Hackney. The service falls within community health services and provides holistic, person-centred support, including early supported discharge and engagement, community rehabilitation and recovery, group and peer support, and non-clinical help with housing, welfare and social prescribing. It also covers self-management and secondary prevention. The purpose is to maintain continuity of post-stroke support before development of a longer-term, North East London-wide stroke pathway. Delivery is in City and Hackney, within London. This is a service opportunity for organisations able to coordinate community health, rehabilitation, recovery and wider social support around people after stroke, working across clinical and non-clinical needs.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold Request for Quotation process under the Procurement Act 2023. Three organisations were invited and two submissions were received; both bids were from SMEs and were submitted electronically. The contract was awarded to The Shoreditch Trust on 6 August 2026 for 16 months, with a contract value of £196,620. The procurement used an open procedure. Evaluation placed 90% emphasis on quality and 10% on social value, while price was assessed on a pass/fail basis. The arrangement is interim and is intended to maintain service continuity while a longer-term commissioning strategy is developed across North East London. The contract is recorded as active, and the award is active.

This requirement indicates demand for providers that can deliver integrated, community-based post-stroke support rather than a narrowly clinical service. A credible competitor would need to combine rehabilitation and recovery support with early supported discharge, engagement, peer and group interventions, social prescribing, welfare and housing support, self-management, and secondary prevention. The strong quality weighting shows that service design and delivery capability matter more than price scoring, while the social value element rewards broader community benefit. Experience coordinating person-centred care across health, voluntary-sector and community networks would be relevant, as would the capacity to provide continuity across multiple support functions in City and Hackney. The awarded supplier was a large organisation, but both received bids were from SMEs, indicating that smaller providers can compete at this scale.
