## Summary

The London Borough of Lewisham is exploring future Extra Care Housing services for residents with eligible care and support needs under the Care Act 2014. The service combines self-contained accommodation with planned care and support, responsive on-site assistance and overnight support where required. It is intended to help residents live independently and may provide an alternative to residential or nursing care. The council currently commissions Extra Care Housing across four locations, supporting 172 residents in total: one location accommodates 52 residents and three accommodate 40 residents each. The future service would require suitable accommodation within the London Borough of Lewisham. The work is a health and social care service, with housing provision and management central to delivery.

This is at the planning stage: the council has stated an intention to procure and is carrying out preliminary market engagement rather than inviting tenders. It expects to use the findings to assess available housing stock and shape future commissioning and procurement arrangements. Organisations are expected to express interest by 14 September 2026, using the council’s specified engagement process. The existing arrangements are due to expire on 31 March 2028. The planned contract period is from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2034, with a possible extension to 31 March 2037 and renewal available. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is divided into one lot. The council has not yet set out a tender procedure, award method, contract value or detailed evaluation criteria.

This early engagement is relevant to organisations that own, manage or can access accommodation in the London Borough of Lewisham and are considering Extra Care Housing provision. Suitable participants are likely to include housing providers, care and support organisations, specialist extra-care operators, registered providers and partnerships combining accommodation with regulated care expertise. Businesses should be able to demonstrate access to self-contained homes and the operational capability to provide planned care, responsive on-site assistance and overnight support for adults with eligible needs. The model is designed around independent living rather than institutional care, so experience of person-centred support, housing management and coordination with local authority services is likely to be useful. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations are identified as suitable.

## Notice

The London Borough of Lewisham (LBL) is reviewing options for the future procurement of Extra Care Housing services for Lewisham residents. Lewisham defines Extra Care Housing as self-contained accommodation for adults with eligible care and support needs under the Care Act 2014. It enables residents to live independently in their own flat, with access to planned care and support, responsive on-site assistance, and overnight support where required. This model can provide an alternative to more restrictive residential or nursing care settings. The Council currently commissions Extra Care Housing services across four locations, supporting a total of 172 residents. One location supports 52 residents and three further locations support 40 residents each. The current arrangements are due to expire on 31 March 2028. The Council is seeking early expressions of interest from organisations that own, manage or have access to accommodation within the London Borough of Lewisham that may be suitable for use as Extra Care Housing from 1 April 2028. This exercise will help the Council understand the availability of suitable housing stock in the borough and inform future commissioning and procurement considerations.
