## Summary

Tower Hamlets is planning a supported living and mental health accommodation service in London. The contract will provide at least 69 units, including mixed-gender accommodation, male-only accommodation and a dedicated service for people moving on from specialist inpatient care, including forensic mental health inpatient services. The service will support residents with serious mental illness and people with co-occurring vulnerabilities such as substance use, alongside other assessed support needs. It will deliver care and support aligned with the Care Act and Section 117 of the Mental Health Act. The intended outcomes include personalised support, sustained recovery, improved quality of life, reduced reliance on statutory or acute clinical interventions, and progress towards more independent living. The procurement is classified as health and social work services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Tower Hamlets has set out its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It is a single planned lot and the buyer expects the contract to start on 1 April 2027 and run until 31 March 2030, with an extension option potentially taking the end date to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £5,818,796 excluding VAT, or £7,273,495 including VAT. Tower Hamlets has scheduled preliminary market engagement, with responses or participation expected by 18 September 2026, and anticipates a further notice on 19 October 2026. The market engagement is intended to inform provision that can establish and embed suitable services over the contract period.

The planned service will suit providers experienced in supported living, mental health accommodation and recovery-focused support for adults with serious mental illness. Relevant organisations should be able to support people leaving specialist inpatient settings, including forensic mental health services, and address co-occurring substance use and wider assessed needs. Providers will need to design and deliver personalised support that promotes independence, improves quality of life and helps reduce reliance on statutory or acute clinical services. Understanding the Care Act and Section 117 duties will be important to delivering the required outcomes. The scale includes at least 69 supported living units and different accommodation models, so the procurement is likely to suit established care and support organisations, including small and medium-sized enterprises, able to provide consistent housing-related support and specialist mental health expertise.

## Notice

This procurement will provide at least 69 supported living units, including both mixed-gender and male-only accommodations, for residents with serious mental illness. It will also include a dedicated service for individuals transitioning from specialist inpatient care, including specialist forensic mental health inpatient provision. Services delivered under this contract will meet residents' needs in line with the Care Act and Section 117 of the Mental Health Act, addressing both mental health and co-occurring vulnerabilities such as substance use, alongside broader assessed support needs. The services will focus on delivering personalised outcomes, supporting residents to sustain recovery, improve quality of life, reduce reliance on statutory or acute clinical interventions, and progress toward more independent living. The contract will run for three years, with the option to extend for an additional two years, providing stability and sufficient time to establish and embed appropriate provision.
