## Summary

The procurement process led by Tower Hamlets Council sought to provide supported emergency accommodation for Asian women and their children experiencing domestic abuse. The project, titled "HAC5910: Tower Hamlets Asian Women’s Refuge," falls under the health and social work services category. This opportunity was conducted through an open procedure, ensuring fair participation. With a total contract value of approximately £765,000 for an initial term of three years, the contract has options to extend for two additional 12-month periods. Tower Hamlets, a local authority with a commitment to tackle violence against women, spearheaded the initiative alongside the Greater London Authority and MOPAC, delivering services from their London base. The procurement stage has completed, with the award granted in September 2025 to Hestia Housing and Support.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in health and social work services. Companies offering comprehensive support services for housing and safety, particularly those with a focus on socially excluded and domestic abuse victims, are well-positioned to engage. The successful supplier, Hestia Housing and Support, highlights the competitive landscape, yet the potential extension of the contract up to a total of five years offers sustained engagement for suitable businesses. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were active in the bidding process, which reflects the accessibility of this procurement for similarly positioned firms seeking to expand their public sector partnerships and service offerings in the London region.
