Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon intends to recommission care and wellbeing services in supported living. The service will support people who require supported living to develop and maintain their skills, increase independence and choice, and live fulfilling lives in their communities. The future model is intended to provide person-centred, strengths-based support that responds to changing needs and aspirations. It is expected to cover service delivery, operating arrangements and delivery models, with scope for effective use of technology, innovation and continuous improvement. Providers will work collaboratively with people who use services, their families and partners. This is a health and social work services procurement, classified under CPV 85000000, for delivery in the London Borough of Hillingdon.

This procurement is at the planning stage: pre-procurement activity and the recommissioning programme are underway, and there is no invitation to tender at this stage. The Council expects to use a competitive flexible procedure for an above-threshold services procurement. One planned lot is identified, with participation considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The anticipated contract period is from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2033, with a possible extension to 31 March 2037 and renewal rights. The Council expects the next notice to be published on 1 April 2027. The service model, specifications and operating arrangements are still being developed through the recommissioning review.

This will suit established supported living providers with experience delivering care and wellbeing services to people with changing needs. Relevant suppliers are likely to be able to provide person-centred, strengths-based support that builds independence, develops daily living skills and enables people to participate in their communities. Providers should prepare to demonstrate high-quality and sustainable service delivery, positive outcomes, value for money and the ability to adapt provision as demand changes. The Council is also looking for forward-looking and innovative approaches, including effective use of technology and continuous service improvement. Strong partnership working will be important, including collaboration with people who use services, families and other professionals. The planned model may also require providers to align delivery with evolving regulatory requirements.
