## Summary

The City of London Corporation is currently inviting tenders for the "City of London Women's Programme Floating Support Service." This procurement process is in the tender stage with an active status, focusing on providing social work and related services within the London Borough of Greenwich. The service aims to support female survivors of domestic abuse in temporary accommodation. With an estimated contract value of £600,000 gross over the full duration, this initiative is managed by the Department of Community and Children's Services of the City of London Corporation. Key dates to note include the tender period ending on 11th June 2026, with an enquiry period closing on 4th June 2026. The procurement method is an open competition below the threshold, and the project operates under a "light touch" regime.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and support services, particularly those with experience in domestic abuse survivor support, housing services, and intersectional advocacy. SMEs and VCSEs may find this opportunity particularly suitable, given the tender's focus on inclusive, tailored service provision that empowers and ensures the wellbeing of marginalised groups. Businesses with innovative approaches to service delivery, especially those outside of London seeking to integrate national best practices, are encouraged to participate, providing a chance to gain a foothold within the public sector and contribute to a significant social cause.

## Notice

Background and Scope The City of London Corporation is commissioning a Floating Support Service to provide wrap-around support to female survivors of DA/DV who are located in a 6-bed temporary accommodation in the London Borough of Greenwich. The City of London Women's Project (COLWP) is a 6-bed HMO located in the London Borough of Greenwich that serves female survivors of DA/DV, under the statutory duties of the Housing Act 1996 (Part VII), the Homeless Reduction Act 2017 and the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. This floating support service will provide rapid, effective, and tailored support to the City of London Women's Project with the goal of empowering survivors of domestic abuse to prepare them to move into safe, healthy and independent housing. The service will support intersectionally marginalised service users with a range of needs, focusing on removing barriers to resettlement and ensuring their safety and wellbeing, with built-in understanding of the added needs surrounding neurodiversity and homelessness. The service will interact with the local Domestic Abuse MARAC and IDVA's where appropriate to ensure support is coordinated and client focussed whilst supporting the service users to develop and work through their personal housing plans. The City of London Corporation Department of Community and Children's Services is responsible for delivering these services. The estimated contract value given is for the full duration of the contract, including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore PS100,000

### Planning Information

Preliminary Market Engagement (PME)
The City is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement in accordance with the provisions of Section 16 to Part 3 [Award of Public Contracts and Procedures] of the Procurement Act 2023 prior to the issuing of the Tender Notice.
PME in this case is where the City, at an early stage in the development of its proposals, but prior to formulating any formal procurement opportunity, seeks input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a future procurement opportunity.
This exercise will provide an opportunity for the City to obtain insight into sector innovations and how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question. To this end, we would ask providers that do not deliver in London to consider responding to this exercise, as we are seeking to incorporate national best practice and innovation into this service.
It also gives a useful early insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market. 
Participants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that the City may conduct, nor that the City will procure any such supplies and services or accept any proposals offered. Any Procurement of supplies and services by the City will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Procurement Act (PA23).
The City has developed a questionnaire (attached at the end of this document), which could be found on the tender portal https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/, that they would like interested parties to complete.
As stated above, the outcome of the PME exercise will inform an options appraisal with recommendations.
Please complete the questionnaire attached to the link below and return. https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/
