## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Royal Borough of Greenwich focuses on reviewing and recommissioning Homecare services, with an emphasis on community-based models. Currently in the planning stage, the Council is hosting multiple market engagement events intended to involve stakeholders in shaping the future of these services. These virtual sessions, such as the ones scheduled for 14 July, 22 July, and 31 July 2026 via MS Teams, are crucial for gathering insights and discussing future procurement strategies. This initiative is categorised under social work and related services, focusing on the London area (region UKI51). The procurement method is framed under the 'light touch' regime, implying a flexible process tailored to specific service needs, with contracts expected to commence in late 2027 and span until 2035.

This tender presents significant opportunities for diverse businesses, including small enterprises, micro-enterprises, co-operatives, and community-led organisations. The engagement sessions are open to established providers and new entrants interested in delivering Homecare services, particularly those specialising in social work and related services in secure or community settings. Participation in these events offers businesses a platform to contribute to the development of innovative Homecare service models and access new market opportunities within Greenwich. The Council prioritises collaboration, aiming to cultivate a sustainable and resilient Homecare market that reflects a broad spectrum of provider perspectives and encourages partnership and innovation in service delivery.

## Notice

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is inviting organisations to an engagement session to explore the delivery of Homecare services within prison settings. This session forms part of the Council's wider programme to review and recommission community based Homecare and Extra Care services. As part of this work, the Council is considering future commissioning arrangements for Homecare provision within local prisons. The purpose of this engagement is to support a shared understanding of the service context and to gather early market insight to inform the development of potential future procurement approaches. The event is open to all organisations with an interest in delivering Homecare services, including established providers, new entrants and organisations exploring opportunities within specialist or secure environments. The Council welcomes a broad range of perspectives to ensure that any future commissioning approach is informed by the diversity of the market. The session will provide an overview of: * The role and scope of Homecare services within prison settings * The needs of individuals requiring care and support while in custody * Operational considerations when delivering services within a secure environment * Partnership working with prison services and other key stakeholders * Early thinking on commissioning intentions and potential future procurement opportunities * Indicative timelines and next steps within the wider recommissioning programme The event will last approximately 60 minutes and will include a question and answer segment to support understanding of the service context and commissioning considerations. The Royal Borough of Greenwich is committed to supporting a diverse, resilient and sustainable care market. We welcome engagement from organisations of all sizes and structures, including micro enterprises, co operatives, Community Interest Companies (CICs), charities, voluntary sector organisations and independent providers. All contributions will be valued equally, and participation in this engagement event will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process. Delivering Homecare services within a prison setting is a specialist area of provision that plays an important role in supporting the wellbeing of individuals in custody. This engagement session will provide an opportunity for providers to learn more about the service environment and to contribute insights that may help inform the Council's ongoing development work. Feedback from the event will help inform the Council's ongoing thinking. Any information relevant to future procurement processes will be made publicly available to ensure transparency and equal access.
