This tender falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and involves a competitive flexible procedure. The services cover short-term emergency placements as well as longer-term support for residents with complex needs, aiming to transition them towards independent living. The planned contract is set to start on 1st April 2027, with full implementation by 31st March 2031, and is described as a light touch regime procurement process. Further notice regarding this tender is expected to be published by 1st June 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those experienced in delivering services to socially excluded groups with mental health needs, homelessness, or learning disabilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the procurement's flexibility and the borough's requirement for a variety of support services, including potential for spot purchase agreements. Companies specialising in comprehensive social services and innovations in supportive living arrangements could find ample prospects for business growth in this procurement, particularly if they have capabilities in addressing broad and complex client needs. ## Notice The Authority is seeking to commission a supported accommodation Service for social inclusion adults aged 18+ in Hounslow. The Service will encompass a mix of provision including very short term (for assessment, emergency, transition/training, and hospital discharge provision), short term (up to a maximum of two years), and longer term units. The Service will also include a top up element, through which the Authority may choose to spot purchase additional hours of support at an agreed hourly rate. The Service will support residents with a range of needs, including those with multiple and complex needs, to move towards independent living. In this context, socially excluded people are those who are isolated from the community and personal relationships. They often lack insight into their circumstances and engage poorly with support services (e.g. community mental health services, substance misuse services, etc.) Social inclusion in this context includes a number of distinct client groups (those with medium level mental health needs, single homeless people, and those with low level learning disabilities) who share significant common needs, vulnerabilities, and behaviours (e.g. exploitation, substance misuse, unemployment, criminal involvement, experience of mental illness, debt, etc.) which contribute to their social exclusion. As detailed in sections 2.9 and 2.10, some units will be designated for Service Users to live with others that share their particular needs, while others will be designated as generic for any socially excluded people. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025145-2025 | | Notice type | UK1 - Pipeline Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Jun 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2027 - 31 Mar 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF HOUNSLOW | | Locality | HOUNSLOW, LONDON | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW3 3EB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Hounslow | | Electoral ward | Hounslow West | | Westminster constituency | Feltham and Heston | | Delivery location | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 22 May 2025 at 14:40 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025145-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025145-2025 22nd May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
