Homecare services
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is currently in the planning stage of a tender process for "Homecare services." The local authority is hosting a Homecare Market Engagement Event via Microsoft Teams on 22 June 2026. This event will focus on discussing challenges and future directions in the Homecare sector, building on co-production work with local stakeholders.
It targets the procurement of integrated neighbourhood health and social care models within Greenwich, scheduled to commence in late 2027. The main industry category is social work services, and the procurement approach follows a services category under a "light touch" regime. Interested providers are encouraged to register for the event scheduled to end on 31 July 2026.
This tender process presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for micro-enterprises, cooperatives, and charities operating within the Homecare sector. By participating in the engagement event, businesses can collaborate on shaping future service models and addressing sector-wide challenges such as rising demand and workforce complexities. SMEs and VCSEs will find this particularly beneficial, with the local authority showing a strong inclination towards collaborative and exploratory market discussions to co-design sustainable, high-quality Homecare services.
This presents an ideal opportunity for businesses focused on prevention, independence, and community-based care to align with the evolving commissioning intentions of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich will be hosting a formal Homecare Market Engagement Event via Microsoft Teams on 22 June 2026 at 1:00 pm. The local authority intends to recommission Homecare services within Greenwich, with a target contract commencement in late 2027. This online event has been designed to provide an open and constructive forum for Local Authority Commissioners and Homecare providers to come together to discuss the current challenges facing the Homecare sector, explore the future direction of services, and consider how providers may need to adapt as the Homecare landscape continues to evolve.
Following early co-production and co-design work with residents, social care teams, and other stakeholders, the local authority is able to share early indications of what future Homecare models could look like. Future Homecare models are expected to focus on:
- Integrated neighbourhood health and social care models
- Alignment of health and social care activity, including delegated healthcare tasks
- Digital health and care technologies
- True outcome-focused care, including discharge pathways and strengths-based approaches Commissioners are keen to engage with providers on the pressures and opportunities within the Homecare sector, including rising demand, workforce challenges, increasing complexity of need, and the growing emphasis on prevention, independence, and community-based support. The event will support partnership working and market engagement by enabling Commissioners to listen to provider perspectives, ask open and exploratory questions, and continue discussions that will help inform the co-design of future services. It is intended as a collaborative discussion rather than a formal consultation, recognising the vital role providers play in delivering sustainable, high-quality Homecare services. The local authority is particularly interested in engaging with micro-enterprises, cooperatives, and charities. Please note:
- The event will not cover Supported Living.
- Attendance does not indicate or imply any future commissioning decisions.
