Supported Housing Domestic Violence

The procurement process is being led by Westminster City Council for the provision of supported housing services targeting domestic violence in the Westminster area. The contract, originally awarded at a value of £1,948,356, has been modified to a total value of £2,219,536, extending until 31st December 2025 due to increased demand and necessary consultation. The procurement falls under the "Health and social work services" category, identified by CPV id 85000000.

The contract extension aligns with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to avoid a service gap during a new procurement process. The current supplier, Refuge, continues to provide services while the procurement is in the award update and contract update stage. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector to explore re-procurement outcomes and potential partnerships.

Companies specialising in supported housing, especially those with expertise in domestic violence services, could benefit from anticipated changes in delivery models and pricing structures. Large organisations, as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those already embedded in or familiar with the Westminster locale, may find this contract an excellent opportunity to expand their operations by engaging with Westminster City Council's future procurement processes.
