Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council commissioned a community-based Enablement Hubs service for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism. The work combines social, employment and advisory activities with community engagement, with the stated aim of promoting independence and wellbeing. The service is delivered in Westminster, London. It is a social care and support service, including guidance and welfare support outside residential institutions. The requirement is focused on community-based provision rather than residential care, and brings together practical support and opportunities for people to take part in community life.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Westminster City Council made a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition; the service was handled as a single lot. Learning Disability Network London Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 29 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). The award is for social and related services, guidance, and welfare services delivered outside residential institutions. The procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility conditions.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible providers will need to deliver community-based enablement for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism in Westminster, bringing together social, employment and advisory support with community engagement. The service is intended to promote independence and wellbeing, so relevant experience should include supporting people to participate in community life and access practical guidance outside residential settings. Providers would need the capacity to run an Enablement Hubs service across these activities and to serve the council’s local population. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so this outcome does not show which capabilities were compared or what formal qualifications or accreditations were required. Learning Disability Network London Limited, the selected provider, is a large voluntary, community or social enterprise.
