UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Havering intends to procure a semi-independent accommodation and support service for care leavers and adults with learning disabilities or mental health needs. The provider will deliver outcome-focused support, helping each person develop the skills and readiness to live independently in the community. This is a health and social care service. The buyer is the London Borough of Havering, based in Romford. The service is described as supporting independent living within the community; no specific delivery address or area is identified.

The process is at the planning stage: the buyer has stated an intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. Havering expects to publish a future notice by 1 January 2027. It is seeking preliminary market engagement, with a questionnaire deadline stated as 12 noon on 22 October 2026. The planned procurement is a single lot, with an estimated value of £3,256,043 including VAT. The expected contract period is 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2030, with a possible extension taking it to 31 December 2032. The procurement method and evaluation criteria have not yet been set out.

The service is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is likely to suit providers able to deliver accommodation alongside individual support for care leavers and adults with learning disabilities or mental health needs, with a focus on preparation for independent living in the community. The buyer is looking for an outcome-focused approach that gives each person the necessary support and opportunity to become ready for independent living. Providers with the capacity to deliver both elements of the service, and to tailor support to different people, may be well placed to take part when the procurement reaches the market. No particular accreditation or qualification is identified.
