Tender: Supported Accommodation & Semi‑Independent Living Framework — Region 1 (London, Surrey & Buckinghamshire) — 8-Year Light Touch Framework from 1 April 2026

About

London Borough of Ealing is seeking suppliers for the re-opening of a Light Touch Framework to procure supported accommodation and semi-independent living services for young people in Region 1, covering the 32 London councils plus Surrey and Buckinghamshire. The flexible framework will run for eight years (4+2+2) starting 1/4/2026 and admits an unlimited number of providers across two lots: Lot 1 for Ofsted‑registered supported accommodation for young people aged 16–17, and Lot 2 for semi-independent accommodation and floating support for young people aged 18+ provided by non‑Ofsted registered providers; providers may apply for both lots. This is a Section 45 light touch framework that will be re-opened at least twice annually, with the West London Alliance and Ealing Council reserving the right to change opening frequency, open specific lots or regions based on sufficiency, and to open, amend or create additional regions in future. The estimated value for the framework is indicative and cannot be guaranteed.
