Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "HAC6116 Activity Based Learning Disability Opportunities." This process, focusing on the Health and Social Work Services industry category, aims to establish a provider list to deliver community-based and non-community based day activities for adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. The procurement is valued at up to £24.8m and includes a contract term of three years starting from 2nd February 2026, with a possible 12-month extension.

Potential suppliers have until 4th September 2025 to engage with the council before the tender is published in September 2025. The initiative is directed from Tower Hamlets Town Hall in London, with Ms. Joanne Spree serving as the primary contact. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with expertise in providing personalised, activity-based day support for individuals with complex needs.

Companies that can offer innovative solutions to transform conventional day service models into dynamic, strengths-based programmes will find this procurement appealing. This initiative encourages the participation of businesses that can deliver varied programmes involving life, health, and pre-employment skills in both mixed and singular service environments. By becoming an approved contracted supplier, businesses can be part of a pivotal community project and secure stable, long-term business through Tower Hamlets’ procurement strategy.

Notice Description

Tower Hamlets currently purchases centre-based day support for 257 adults with a learning disability across 6 Providers operating within borough boundaries. This provision is transacted via an activity-based framework contract with different prices for standard, enhanced and complex levels of support. The current annual expenditure via the framework is projected at PS5.9m in 2024-25.

In addition, the borough purchases 15 Tower Hamlets centre-based placements at PS158,012 outside the established framework and in the region of 63 non-building-based placements at approximately PS410k. Non-centre based provision is usually delivered in the form of 1:1 support and often outside of core day provision hours. There is 1 provider operating.

Both centre-based and non-centre based provision delivers a range of personalised support with life skills, budgeting, access to education, training, employment, clinical and health care services, and social interactions to develop or maintain independence within the community. Activities are delivered through a range of varied programmes personalized to meet individual needs, choice and aspiration. The Borough is seeking to establish a new activity-based contract from which the provision of day support for adults with a learning disability can be purchased when the current framework ends in February 2026.

Once established the Council will only spot purchase provision from organisations that have been successful and are listed as approved contracted suppliers and hold a contract with the Authority.
