Market Engagement - Home Care Services for Adults in Hammersmith & Fulham

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is planning a procurement process for the provision of Home Care Services for adults aged 18 and over. The engagement process is currently in the planning update stage, and interested providers are invited to join a virtual meeting scheduled on Friday, 10th October 2025 from 09:30 to 11:00. This process aims to gain insights from potential providers and partners to inform the council's understanding of key issues and to discuss market offerings that could assist in service delivery from 2026.

The procurement process is under the "light touch" regime and falls within the category of health and social work services, with a total contract value estimated at GBP 120,000,000. The contract period is planned from 1st July 2026 to 1st July 2030, with a potential extension until 2034. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those capable of delivering social work services without accommodation.

SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises are encouraged to participate, benefitting from the framework agreement approach. By engaging in the preliminary market engagement, businesses can align their services with the council's expectations and requirements, potentially securing a substantial contract that supports long-term business growth. Involvement in this project not only provides a financial boost but also enhances reputation and partnership opportunities within the public sector.
