About

London Borough of Croydon is seeking suppliers to participate in a market engagement briefing on 10 September 2026 at 2:00pm to explore provision of children's care at Precious House Care Home (focused on interventions to step across to family settings) and South Norwood Children's Care Home (for complex needs). This session is the first in a series of prospective bidder and stakeholder engagement events; interested parties must register their interest by 7 September 2026 and provide organisation name and the name, job title and email address of delegates. Following the briefing, additional options will be available to explore the opportunity in more detail.

Insight

This could be ideal for providers of children's residential care with experience in family-focused step-down interventions and complex needs services. Key considerations: this is an initial market engagement (not a call for competition), there is a firm registration deadline of 7 September 2026 and registrants must supply organisation and delegate details, and further procurement opportunities may follow.
