UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Haringey seeks a medical advice service to support its decisions on housing and homelessness applications under the Housing Act 1996. The provider will assess how applicants’ health conditions affect their ability to sustain housing and advise on health-related needs in homelessness cases. This includes people with chronic illnesses, disabilities and other medical conditions. The work is health and social work services (CPV 85000000), delivered in the United Kingdom. The advice is intended to help the Council meet its legal responsibilities as a local housing authority and ensure relevant health considerations inform housing decisions.

The Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a single-lot procurement. The enquiry deadline was 9 November 2026 at 13:00, and the submission deadline was 18 November 2026 at 13:00. The initial contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with an option to extend by up to 12 months, subject to satisfactory performance and mutual agreement. The estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT (£144,000 including VAT). Award is weighted 60% on price and 40% on quality; detailed criteria are in the tender documents. The tender portal submission address was corrected by amendment.

This requirement suits medical advice providers able to assess the practical effects of health conditions on housing needs and provide clear, relevant advice to support public-sector decisions. Experience with chronic illness, disability and other medical conditions is pertinent, alongside the ability to address housing sustainment and homelessness-assistance cases. The Council marks the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may be accessible to specialist providers as well as larger organisations. Suppliers should be prepared to compete on both service quality and price, with quality carrying substantial weight in the evaluation. The requirement is a defined advisory service rather than a construction or goods supply contract.
