Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark is currently in the planning stage of a tender process for grant programmes within the health and social work services sector. This initiative, titled "Autism & SEND Grants Webinar," highlights upcoming funding opportunities aimed at social care. It begins with an online information session scheduled for 13th October 2025.

The grants cover various programmes, including the Autism Grants and SEND Short Breaks. These programmes will launch in October, enabling organisations within the United Kingdom to prepare for application submission. The planning document also indicates a potentially significant investment with an allocated budget of £240,000 (gross) for administering these services, focusing on facilitating workshops, trips, and events for individuals aged 5 and above.

This procurement process facilitates new opportunities for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) by encouraging participation in the tendering process for services rooted in health and social care. Businesses specialising in social care services, particularly those focusing on autism and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are well-positioned to take part in this programme. Through active participation, businesses can expand their service offerings, build strategic partnerships within the sector, and enhance community support services, ultimately fostering business growth while contributing positively to social outcomes.
