Provision of Medical Assessments pursuant to Part VI and VII of the Housing Act 1996

The London Borough of Haringey has completed a procurement process for the provision of medical assessments as mandated by the Housing Act 1996, Part VI and VII. The process, classified under the social work and related services category, was conducted through a direct procurement method specifically designed for single tender action below the threshold. The awarded amount of £83,000 was granted to NowMedical Limited, a company proficient in the sector.

The contract covers services to be delivered in London, UK, and spans from 1st November 2024 to 30th April 2026, with the award being published on 1st July 2025. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses within the medical assessment domain, specifically those catering to social welfare services linked to housing needs. The direct procurement method signals an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those already possessing expertise in medical evaluations connected to housing-related welfare issues.

Companies that can provide specialised assessments to aid councils in managing housing situations related to medical or welfare grounds are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders.
