UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames commissioned a one-year pilot nurse service focused on one socially excluded person who is a long-term rough sleeper. The requirement falls within health and social work services and is delivered in the Kingston upon Thames area. The service is intended to provide a dedicated nursing role addressing the needs of an individual facing severe social exclusion and persistent rough sleeping. This is a focused community health and support requirement rather than a broad clinical staffing contract. Organisations working in community nursing, outreach healthcare, homelessness services or integrated health and social care may find the service relevant, particularly where they can provide a nurse able to work with people experiencing long-term rough sleeping and complex social exclusion.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The award went to Via Community Ltd, an SME, for the single lot. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £79,000 excluding VAT, or £94,800 including VAT. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure, so the buying route involved competition among a restricted field rather than an open tender. The outcome identifies one selected supplier for the nurse pilot serving the Kingston upon Thames area.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Kingston upon Thames for specialist nursing support connected with long-term rough sleeping and social exclusion. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitably qualified nursing capability alongside experience of community-based or outreach work with people who may face complex health, housing and social needs. Relevant strength would include the ability to work sensitively with a highly vulnerable individual, coordinate with local public services and sustain a focused service rather than simply supply general clinical staff. Experience in homelessness support, socially excluded communities or integrated health and social care would help show that the organisation understands the setting and can deliver practical, person-centred support.
