## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Wandsworth Borough Council focuses on the provision of care and support services at the Brenda Road Mental Health Supported Living Scheme, aimed at helping individuals with complex mental health needs. This initiative is categorised under welfare services for disabled people and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a contract amounting to £3,406,000. The direct award method was employed due to unique circumstances and strategic partner involvement. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2026 and will run until 30th September 2029, with an option for a two-year extension, and significant third-party investment has facilitated the project further.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare sector, particularly those specialising in mental health services. The unique arrangement, where the supplier, Look Ahead Care and Support Limited, maintains property control, creates a niche opportunity for collaboration. Organisations adept at delivering specialised care solutions and capable of leveraging external investments will find this procurement advantageous. Additionally, large-scale businesses with experience in public sector contracts and collaboration on complex care models are well-suited to engage in such strategic initiatives for expanding their business footprint within the healthcare domain.

## Notice

The Council proposes to commission care and support services only (not accommodation) to enable its customers living with complex and enduring mental health conditions to live independently within the community. This approach ensures timely delivery of scarce new in-borough provision and leverages significant third-party investment without Council capital funding.

### Procurement Information

The Council intends to award a contract for the provision of care and support services at a supported living scheme for people with complex mental health needs in compliance with the Procurement Act 2023. The supplier, Look Ahead, uniquely owns and controls the property at Brenda Road, which was purchased using its own capital investment and external grant funding. This arrangement follows prior market engagement where providers were invited to propose collaborative solutions to address local service gaps. No other provider can deliver services at this location, meaning competition is absent for technical reasons. The Council will only contract for care and support services (not accommodation). This approach ensures timely delivery of new in-borough provision and leverages significant third-party investment without Council capital funding.
