Tender description

Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea recommissioned older people's day opportunity services across the Bi-Borough area to offer a wide range of flexible services that can adapt to people's changing needs whilst offering targeted support where required. The procurement was divided into three overarching service areas: Community Support, Age Well Centres/Hubs and Day Centres, comprising 12 sub-lots in total. Eleven sub-lots have been awarded. Lot 2C was not awarded because the tenders received did not meet the minimum requirements set out in the tender documents. Westminster City Council acted as the contracting authority for the procurement. Westminster City Council and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea will each enter into their own sovereign contracts with the successful providers.

About the buyer

Westminster City Council is a London local authority that centralised procurement into a dedicated department in 2020. Tenders above a set threshold are advertised on the council's Jaggaer-built portal alongside Find a Tender. Lower-value contracts go through a streamlined request for quote process for smaller suppliers. Larger contracts run through open procedures, restricted tendering, or frameworks and dynamic markets. The council commissions adults' and children's services with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea under a bi-borough arrangement. A Contract Management Framework, refreshed in November 2023, governs awarded contracts.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Westminster City Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, architectural and engineering services and business services.
