## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets for the project titled "HAC6054 East London Apartments" aims to provide 31 one-bed flats in a supported housing setting, targeted at individuals with a history of rough sleeping. The procurement method was a direct award due to urgency, with grant funding not approved until December 2024, making competitive tendering unfeasible. The contract covers the period from 24 March 2026 to 31 March 2026, with a gross value of £746,783. The awarded contractor is Looking Ahead Care and Support, a large-scale supplier situated in London. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category and is supported by the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme funding stream.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services to expand their operations and contribute to addressing homelessness challenges. Companies with experience in supported housing solutions or social care provision are highly suitable to compete, particularly those capable of managing urgent housing needs effectively. The collaboration with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets could bolster the reputation and footprint of businesses in the metropolitan area while contributing positively to the community by providing essential support to vulnerable populations.

## Notice

East London Apartments provides 31 one-bed flats in a supported housing setting on Hackney Road (Weavers Ward). Referrals into the service are exclusively for those with a history of rough sleeping, many of whom have struggled in or been evicted from other supported housing settings in the Borough. The service is funded entirely through the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme (RSAP) which is a funding steam of the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government.

### Procurement Information

Grant funding for the year was not approved until December 2024 for the year 01/04/2 to 31/03/26 which did not provide enough time for a competitive tender procedure and would have potentially rendered the current tenants homeless
