(UK2) Preliminary Market Engagement: Enablement, Day Opportunities, Volunteering and Employment Services for Adults with a Learning Disability

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and Westminster City Council (WCC) are seeking to engage with the market ahead of a competitive procurement exercise for a multi-lot Learning Disability and Autism procurement covering enablement, moderate-to-complex community support, volunteering opportunities and employment-related progression.

The services are intended to support adults with a learning disability and/or autism to increase independence, improve health and wellbeing, reduce social isolation, access community-based activities, and develop routes into volunteering, employment and wider community participation.

The proposed lot structure is:

Lot 1 WCC Enablement Hub

Lot 2 RBKC Moderate-to-Complex Community Service

Lot 3 Bi-Borough Volunteering Opportunities Service

An online market engagement event will be held on 7th October at 10:00 - 11.30am. Please register your interest via Jaggaer: https://wcc.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/

This will include an overview of the proposed services and model, timeline for procurement, contract information and procurement approach.

This engagement exercise does not constitute a call for competition, commitment to procure, or pre-qualification process. Participation is entirely voluntary and will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement.
