## Summary

The London Borough of Camden, in partnership with the London Borough of Islington, is in the planning stage of the procurement process for the Camden and Islington Navigator Service. This service provides essential support to individuals experiencing homelessness with multiple disadvantages. Set in the heart of London, this initiative falls under the 'services' industry category, with a focus on social work services. The procurement process is initiated as a tender and aims to recommission the existing service, due to conclude on 31st March 2027. A market engagement session is slated for 14th July 2026, providing interested suppliers an opportunity to participate. The planned contract for the recommissioned service is expected to commence on 1st April 2027 and run until 31st March 2032, with a gross value of £1.9 million.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and support services, particularly those adept at providing person-centred, flexible support to vulnerable populations. Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-positioned to engage with this procurement, as there is suitability for these entities.
