6229 - Management of Reablement Facility/Long Term Residence Wolsley House

The London Borough of Bexley has awarded a contract for the management of the Reablement Facility/Long Term Residence at Wolsley House, located in Crayford, Kent. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category (CPV: 85000000) with additional classification for property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis (CPV: 70330000). The procurement process, conducted through an open procedure, was completed with the award made on 27th January 2025.

The contract period is set from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with an estimated value of £432,000. The primary aim is to provide comprehensive scheme management, support tenants, manage the property, and optimise rental income for the council. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health, social care, and property management services, particularly those capable of offering integrated facility management solutions.

With the growing demand for reablement and temporary housing solutions driven by an ageing population, businesses that specialise in managing residential facilities and providing tenant support could thrive in this project. The contract, awarded to Spire Housing Ltd, underscores the importance of a robust management strategy to meet the council's objectives of providing efficient and effective social care services while generating rental income from council-owned properties.
