Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an extension to its Southwark Step Down Service from Southcroft Healthcare Lodge Ltd. The requirement is for three additional bed spaces within an existing step-down healthcare and social care service. The work is delivered in Southwark, London, and is classified as social services. It supports people moving through step-down care, with the additional capacity intended to expand the current service rather than introduce a changed model of provision. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust serving south London, while Southcroft Healthcare Lodge Ltd is the selected provider. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations providing residential or supported step-down healthcare services, particularly those able to operate additional accommodation in Southwark.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award. The stated reason was that three additional bed spaces were required without changing the service already being delivered. Southcroft Healthcare Lodge Ltd was selected for the single lot. The award value is £121,569.60 excluding VAT and £145,883.50 including VAT. The award covers the period from 14 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is above the relevant threshold. Evaluation was not a competitive price-and-quality exercise: the route relied on the continuity of the existing service and the need for additional capacity. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 14 August 2026. The award is recorded as pending, although the procurement itself is complete.

This procurement indicates established NHS demand for step-down accommodation and associated social care capacity in Southwark. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable premises, the ability to provide three or more additional bed spaces, and operational capacity to support people moving through step-down care. Experience of delivering an existing service without disruption would be commercially important, since the stated rationale prioritised continuity and no change to the service model. Providers should be able to work with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and demonstrate that their accommodation and care arrangements can integrate with NHS service requirements. The selected supplier was a large healthcare provider, suggesting that scale, organisational capacity and established delivery arrangements may be relevant when this buyer next reviews comparable provision.
