The planning phase of this procurement process is currently underway, with key engagement activities culminating on 24th February 2025. The total contract value is estimated at £6,000,000, focusing on Health and Social Work Services, with service delivery centered in London, England. The new service is set to commence in April 2026, following the expiry of the current contract on 31st March 2026. This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for SMEs involved in the health and social care sectors, particularly those specialising in youth services. It involves providing accommodation-based services aimed at reducing reoffending rates and avoiding custody for young males. Given the pan-London scope of the service, businesses with experience in handling geographically diverse and sensitive social service projects are best suited to compete. Interested parties are encouraged to complete the market engagement questionnaire and registration form, thereby contributing to the development of this crucial social initiative while positioning themselves for a substantial contract with Camden Council. ## Notice Camden Council is reviewing the future delivery of the London Accommodation Pathfinder service. The current contract is due to end of 31st March 2026 with a new service commencing on or around 1st April 2026. Our vision through the delivery of this pathfinder is that we avoid custody where possible for children aged 16 and 17 (and those who turn 18 whilst in this placement). By providing an alternative to custody we will be able to avoid future extensive contact with the criminal justice system and reduce reoffending rates for children, some of whom are disproportionally represented in the criminal justice system. A high percentage of children remanded are from Global Majority backgrounds, and a significant amount of these children are not found guilty of the offences they are remanded for. The London Borough of Camden will be leading on the procurement exercise for the re-commissioning of the London Accommodation Pathfinder Service which is a pan-London accommodation-based service for 10 males at any one time between the age of 16 - 17 years. There is a possibility this service could be expanded in the future, which will be dependent on needs identified. Based over two units, the service will be open to children from any London Authority.
