## Summary

The Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL) is currently in the planning stage of procuring a Community Step Down Service, primarily focusing on the health and social work services sector. This tender process will provide a minimum of 35 community beds across five North West London boroughs, including Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon, Kensington & Chelsea, and Westminster, for a duration of 12 to 24 months. Interested organisations are encouraged to submit their views through a Market Engagement Questionnaire by 27 September 2021, which will help CNWL determine market interest and shape the subsequent procurement process.

This opportunity presents a significant scope for care agencies with expertise in residential nursing and supported housing services to expand their business reach within the healthcare sector. Organisations that can provide on-site live-in support and have a strong background in working with individuals transitioning from acute mental health inpatient units will be particularly well-suited to respond. Moreover, participating in this process can enhance visibility and foster relationships with a key public health authority, leading to potential future contracts.
