Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Lewisham procured supported living care and support services for three adults with learning disabilities at 47 Montem Road, London SE23 1SH. The requirement covers the day-to-day provision of supported living and care services in accommodation, classified as social work services with accommodation (CPV 85311000). The service includes transferring the existing staff under TUPE, so the incoming provider must take on the relevant employment arrangements alongside delivering care and support. The buyer is the London Borough of Lewisham, with the service based in Lewisham, south-east London. This is a single supported living requirement focused on maintaining safe, continuous provision for the three residents while longer-term arrangements are developed.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award to PLUS. The stated reason was urgency and continuity of essential care: the previous provider, Outlook Care, declined to continue after its arrangement expired, while a replacement Learning Disability Framework procurement was ongoing. The award value is £402,772 including VAT. The award covers one lot and has a contract period from 30 August 2026 to 30 September 2027. The award record is dated 20 August 2026, and a signature milestone was scheduled for 20 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, on the basis that a gap in provision could threaten residents’ safety and wellbeing. PLUS was the selected supplier.

This outcome indicates demand for a specialist supported living provider able to deliver continuous care and support to adults with learning disabilities in a defined residential setting. A credible future competitor would need operational capability in supported living services, experience supporting people with learning disabilities, and the capacity to maintain safe provision for a small number of residents without disruption. The requirement also shows the importance of continuity planning when an incumbent withdraws, including the ability to mobilise quickly and preserve established staffing arrangements through TUPE. Providers should therefore be able to manage transferred staff, employment obligations and service continuity while maintaining resident wellbeing. Relevant organisations are likely to include established care and support providers with local delivery capacity and experience working with councils on accommodation-based social care.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Supported Living Services - 47 Montem Road

Notice Description

Provision of supported living care and support services for three adults with learning disabilities at 47 Montem Road, London SE23 1SH, including the transfer of existing staff under TUPE.

Procurement Information

A direct award is required to ensure the continuity of essential supported living care and support for three adults with learning disabilities at 47 Montem Road. The previous provider, Outlook Care, declined to continue beyond the expiry of the existing arrangement, while the Council's replacement Learning Disability Framework procurement is still ongoing. A gap in contractual arrangements could create a significant risk to the continuity, safety and wellbeing of the residents. A time-limited direct award to PLUS Services is therefore necessary to maintain safe and continuous care until the new framework and longer-term arrangements are available.
