UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Lambeth intends to commission a community welfare and social work service for residents aged 18–34 who are vulnerable to criminal exploitation, serious violence, repeat victimisation and related safeguarding concerns. The service will provide targeted support and form part of the borough’s wider Criminal Exploitation & Disruption Hub, contributing to a coordinated response across agencies to exploitation affecting young adults. Delivery is in Lambeth, London. The work is community-based support rather than residential care, and sits within social services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Lambeth has signalled its intention to procure, but has not issued an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish a further notice on 16 November 2026. A market engagement milestone is scheduled for 13 November 2026. The proposed procurement is a single lot, planned as a service contract running from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. Its estimated value is £322,000 excluding VAT (£386,400 including VAT). The process is intended to use the light-touch regime. The published planning information does not set out an evaluation basis or detailed eligibility requirements.

The service is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to organisations able to provide targeted community support to vulnerable young adults. Suppliers with experience in safeguarding, preventing or responding to criminal exploitation and serious violence, supporting people affected by repeat victimisation, and working with multi-agency partners are likely to be well placed to prepare. The stated model calls for a service that contributes to a coordinated response alongside Lambeth’s wider hub, rather than standalone residential provision. The planned contract is a focused, single-lot service for residents aged 18–34. Businesses interested in this area can use the planning and market-engagement period to consider their delivery approach and fit.
