## Summary

The London Borough of Lambeth is currently in the tender stage for a contract titled "Semi Independent Living Service - SILS" under the housing services industry category. This procurement process aims to support 16+ children looked after and care leavers through six lots of Approved Provider Lists with varying levels of support, both inside and outside London. The contract spans from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2032, with an estimated total contract value of £59.5 million. Key deadlines include the tender period ending on 27 September 2024, and it adopts a restricted procurement method. The initiative seeks creative and trauma-informed service approaches, placing young people at the core of the organisation's mission.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in welfare and housing services for children and young people. Companies that can deliver innovative, youth-centred support models will be well-suited to compete. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, providing a pathway for smaller and volunteer-driven organisations to secure significant, long-term contracts. The diverse support models and geographic distribution further broaden the opportunities for different business types to tailor their proposals and meet specific service requirements.

These will be procured through six lots of Approved Provider Lists, with different support models including: enhanced 24/7 support; standard 24/7 support; and visiting support. Three lots are for services within a London borough, and three lots for the same support models but for services outside London in recognition of expected differences in pricing.
