## Summary

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is currently in the tendering stage of procuring a "Provision of Sensory Support Service" aimed at helping vulnerable residents, including those who are deaf, blind, or have hearing and sight impairments, to live independently. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category and will be implemented within the United Kingdom. The open procedure process will conclude with tender submissions by 22 June 2026, with an enquiry deadline on 16 June 2026 and the awarding phase anticipated to end on 10 August 2026. The contract period is set to commence on 2 November 2026 and continue until 1 November 2029, with possibilities for renewal. The procurement process is influenced by UKPGA 2023/54 legislation and encourages electronic submissions via the specified tender management platform.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those specialising in assistive technologies and services for sensory impairments. Suitability criteria indicate an openness to SMEs and VCSEs, suggesting that smaller organisations have a substantial chance to compete. With a contract value of £687,840, this initiative not only offers financial potential but also enables bidders to contribute meaningfully to community welfare by enhancing service users' autonomy and quality of life. Businesses with capabilities in consultation services, training, and provision of specialised equipment for the sensory-impaired are well-placed to deliver comprehensive solutions aligned with the buyer's objectives, thereby fostering long-term business growth and partnerships with local government entities.

## Notice

This service supports some of our most vulnerable residents enabling them to continue to live in their own home within their communities. As part of the contract the service will be required to support social care workers with cases that involve individuals with sensory needs as a consultation service. The service is provided to make those who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or partially sighted more independent. If someone is blind/partially sighted, an assessment is done and then training, so service users can use public transport, prepare their own meals and stay in work. For service users who are deaf, they are issued equipment and assisted technology so they're able to live independently.
