Summary of the contracting process

Tower Hamlets commissioned a comprehensive diagnostic of health and adult social care in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The work covers both working-age adults and older people, responding to rising demand, increasingly complex needs and higher care costs. Its purpose is to produce a business case and delivery plan for transforming adult social care, identifying opportunities to improve outcomes for residents and reduce spending on specific care pathways while continuing to meet eligible needs and statutory duties. The requirement is for health and social work services (CPV 85000000), delivered in the United Kingdom. Tower Hamlets is the buying organisation and a sub-central public authority. The work addresses the council’s adult social care directorate and its future resilience to increasing demand.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. One lot was awarded to Newton Europe Limited. The award date was 21 August 2026, with a gross value of £618,000 and a value excluding tax of £515,000. The contract period is from 1 November 2026 to 2 February 2027, with signature scheduled for 31 October 2026. The recorded award status is pending. Evaluation through a competitive tender was not used: the procurement route was direct award without competition. The requirement covers a single service package for the diagnostic, business case and transformation delivery plan. No separate award criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are recorded for this procurement.

This award demonstrates demand from Tower Hamlets for specialist adult social care transformation consultancy, combining service diagnostics, strategy, financial analysis and practical delivery planning. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need credible experience across both working-age and older people’s care, understanding of statutory adult social care duties, and the ability to analyse demand, care pathways, outcomes and expenditure together. A strong competitor would also need to translate evidence into an implementable transformation plan, identify savings without undermining eligible care provision, and address demographic growth and rising complexity. The selected provider is a large consultancy, indicating a requirement that may suit organisations with substantial analytical, programme-management and public-sector delivery capacity, supported by senior advisers who can work with a council directorate.

Notice Information

Notice Title

HAC6148 Comprehensive Diagnostic of Health and Adult Social Care

Notice Description

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets has experienced sustained and accelerating growth in adult social care demand for and access to care and support across both working age adults and the older population. Complexity of needs and the unit cost of care have also increased. These trends are reinforced by wider demographic pressures, with the borough's population expected to rise to 381,188 by 2030, and the number of residents aged 75+ forecasted to increase by 56% by 2045. The financial implications of this trajectory are amplified by the borough's exceptionally high levels of income deprivation among older adults--61.5% live in income deprivation, the highest proportion in England, driving significantly higher reliance on council funded care. As a result, we already commission the second highest number of care packages per head of population aged 65+ nationally and the third most community care packages in London per head of population aged 65+. * To produce a business case and delivery plan for transformation of ASC, which identifies opportunities to support the directorate in achieving improved outcomes for residents, and a reduction in spend on specific pathways, ensuring we continue to meet the eligible care needs of our residents and deliver on our statutory duties whilst ensuring we are resilient to future increase in demand
