    Brief

    Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) is conducting a market engagement exercise to gather feedback on the future procurement of Learning Disability Residential Care Services. The Council currently commissions two services: Barlby Road (4 units) and St Quintin's Avenue (6 units), which together support 10 residents with complex learning disabilities and high support needs. These predominantly serve older adults requiring safe, person-centred care that promotes wellbeing, independence, choice and quality of life. The indicative annual contract values are approximately £574,000 (Barlby Road) and £639,000 (St Quintin Avenue). RBKC plans to retender these services under an open procedure in early 2027, with service commencement targeted for late 2027, complying with the Procurement Act 2023. Contracts will initially run for five years with optional extensions of three years and a further two years. This questionnaire is not a formal tender or pre-qualification exercise, but rather seeks to understand market capacity, interest and capability to inform the procurement strategy and service specification. All responses must be submitted by 9 October 2026 via the online form.
