Opportunity Overview
1. Introduction
The London Borough of Waltham Forest ("the Council") is undertaking this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to inform the future commissioning of Home-Based Support and Reablement Services.
The purpose of this engagement is to:
• Seek provider and stakeholder feedback
• Inform the future service model and procurement approach
• Understand market capacity, capability, and innovation
• Support delivery of high-quality, sustainable, and outcome-focused services
2. Background and Context
The Council currently commissions Home-Based Support through a framework arrangement with multiple providers, delivering approximately 1,000-1,100 care packages annually.
Home-based care and support is critical to:
• Enabling residents to live independently at home
• Supporting hospital discharge and system flow
• Preventing or delaying the need for long-term residential care
• Meeting statutory duties under the Care Act 2014
Demand has increased significantly in recent years, alongside:
• Increased complexity of need
• Workforce pressures
• Growing reliance on spot purchasing
The Council is therefore reviewing its commissioning approach to ensure a more flexible, sustainable, and outcome-focused model.
