Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon intends to recommission care and wellbeing services for people living in supported accommodation in Hillingdon. The services are intended to help people develop and maintain skills, increase independence and choice, and lead fulfilling lives in their communities. The council is reviewing how provision should respond to current and projected demand, changing needs and aspirations, and future regulatory requirements. The service model and its structure are still being developed and could involve changes to specifications, operating arrangements and delivery models. The intended service model is flexible and sustainable, with person-centred support, community inclusion, effective use of technology and collaboration across the sector at its heart. This is health and social care provision.

This is a planning-stage recommissioning: the council has set out its intention to procure, but there is no invitation to tender. The future procurement is expected to use a competitive flexible procedure and establish long-term contractual arrangements. The council expects to publish a future notice around 1 April 2027. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2033, with a possible extension to 31 March 2036. The planned procurement is a single lot, with suitability indicated for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The council planned a provider engagement event at Civic Centre, Uxbridge, on 13 October 2026, following registration by 9 October 2026. The event is intended to gather provider feedback on the developing service model and procurement approach.

The work is likely to suit care and support providers experienced in supported living and in helping people build skills, exercise choice and live more independently in their communities. The council is looking for person-centred, strengths-based support that can adapt to changing demand and levels of need, promote community inclusion, and deliver good-quality services and value for money. Providers able to use technology and other innovative approaches to service delivery, work collaboratively with the wider sector, and support continuous improvement may be well placed to contribute to the model. The council also wants future provision to align with current and emerging regulatory requirements. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable participants. The service specification and operating model remain under development.
