Market Engagement for Learning Disability Supported Living

The London Borough of Hounslow is in the planning stages of a procurement process aimed at sourcing providers for Adults Supported Living Services for individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically social work and related services, with a focus on supporting twelve supported living schemes throughout Hounslow, London. An online market engagement event is scheduled for 8th June 2026, providing potential providers an opportunity to engage with the Council's commissioning intentions and learn about the procurement strategy.

6 million, with the contract period starting on 1st June 2027. Further notice regarding future tender details is expected on 20th July 2026. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those that support adults with complex and changing needs.

SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to engage, as the contract's structure accommodates their participation. The engagement event provides an avenue for businesses to contribute insights, thereby influencing the final service model and procurement approach. Engaging in this process enables businesses to build relationships with the Council and gain a deeper understanding of its requirements, potentially leading to new business growth and an opportunity to deliver high-quality, person-centred services that promote independence and positive outcomes for residents in supported living schemes.
