Overview
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) currently commissions two Learning Disability Residential Care Services for Adults at Barlby Road (4 units) and St Quintin's Avenue (6 units), supporting 10 residents with complex learning disabilities and high support needs. A procurement exercise is required to secure the continued provision of high-quality residential care and support services that meet the Council's statutory duties under the Care Act 2014.
The services support predominantly older adults with learning disabilities, including individuals with significant care needs, complex behaviours and communication needs. Their purpose is to provide safe, person-centred care and support that promotes wellbeing, independence, choice, control and quality of life, enabling residents to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Funding arrangements are to be finalised, but the indicative annual value of the contracts will be around £574k for Barlby Road and £639k for St Quintin Avenue. This Market Engagement Questionnaire is issued on behalf of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), to obtain market feedback in relation to the future procurement of Learning Disability Residential Care in the borough.

Additional details
The Market Engagement Questionnaire is not a call for tenders or a pre-qualification exercise. The purpose of the questionnaire is to gain insight and to gauge the level of interest and capacity of the market with feedback used to inform the procurement strategy and service specification.
The Council is currently considering re-tendering under an open procedure in early 2027 for service commencement in late 2027. The procurement will fall within, and comply, with the Procurement Act 2023.
It is likely the contract(s) will be for an initial duration of five years, with options to extend for three years and an additional option to extend for two years. This questionnaire will not form part of the formal procurement process. The link to the questionnaire can be found here - https://forms.cloud.microsoft/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=...
