Official UK procurement notice
Reablement Service — UK public procurement notice
Authority: London Borough of Southwark (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Council is seeking to award a single Contract to the successful bidder as part of this Procurement and it is anticipated that the Contract will be fully operational by 2 November 2026 (this may be subject to change) and will continue for a period of four (4) years from that date with an option to extend, at the Council's discretion, for up to four (4) years (two (2) years plus two (2) years) unless terminated in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Contract. The estimated total contract value for this procurement is £13.6m.
Due to the short-term nature of Reablement and to support continuity for residents, it is expected that, at contract commencement, most existing packages will not transfer to the successful Supplier and will remain with the incumbent provider until the closure of the package. However, during mobilisation the Council will conduct a review of existing packages to determine whether any packages are appropriate for transfer. It is possible therefore that some existing packages could be transferred if the new provider is willing to accept them. Transfer of existing care packages are therefore potentially within the scope of this Procurement but the contract value expressed above are calculated based on current care packages.
- How the procedure runs: PSQ stage followed by an invitation to submit tenders followed by a presentation stage.

| supplier not published | — | 26 Aug 2026 | CancelledFollowing publication of a Tender Notice with reference 2025/S 000-055135 on 9 September 2025, Southwark Council made the decision on 26 August 2026 not to proceed to the conclusion of its procurement of Reablement services for the borough and instead to terminate the procurement. This procurement has been subject to a legal challenge and, following careful consideration of the issues raised during that process, The Council has concluded that it is in the best interests of residents, providers and the Council to discontinue the procurement and reconsider its future commissioning approach. Accordingly, no contract award will be made under the current procurement process. In reaching this decision, the Council has reflected on both the procurement process and the wider strategic objectives for the future delivery of Reablement services within the borough to secure high quality and best value for money services that are committed to the Southwark Ethical Care Charter. The Council has also considered whether alternative commissioning and procurement arrangements may better support its long-term objectives for residents and stakeholders. In light of these considerations and having regard to the potential resource implications of continuing what is likely to be a prolonged legal process, the Council has determined that discontinuing the current procurement represents the most appropriate course of action. |
