Mental Health Supported Accommodation - Property Availability

The London Borough of Southwark is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Mental Health Supported Accommodation - Property Availability". This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and targets the region of the United Kingdom. The focus is on gathering information regarding property availability to support mental health accommodation needs.

Interested parties are encouraged to participate in a market engagement exercise by completing and returning a questionnaire by 12 Noon on 21 November 2025. The process is above the procurement threshold, with a future notice expected by 1 April 2026, and it is part of a light-touch regime. This procurement process represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide suitable property solutions.

The focus on supported accommodation for mental health underscores a growing demand in the social care sector, providing avenues for businesses with expertise in real estate and housing services to expand their portfolios. Businesses with innovative solutions and a track record in managing or providing health-related facilities will find this tender particularly aligned with their experience and capabilities. With a planned contract period commencing in November 2026, it's an opportune time for interested parties to engage with the London Borough of Southwark to explore potential collaborations.
