Expression of Interest - Future Extra Care Housing Accommodation
Authority: London Borough of Lewisham (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe London Borough of Lewisham (LBL) is reviewing options for the future procurement of Extra Care Housing services for Lewisham residents.
Lewisham defines Extra Care Housing as self-contained accommodation for adults with eligible care and support needs under the Care Act 2014. It enables residents to live independently in their own flat, with access to planned care and support, responsive on-site assistance, and overnight support where required. This model can provide an alternative to more restrictive residential or nursing care settings.
The Council currently commissions Extra Care Housing services across four locations, supporting a total of 172 residents. One location supports 52 residents and three further locations support 40 residents each. The current arrangements are due to expire on 31 March 2028.
The Council is seeking early expressions of interest from organisations that own, manage or have access to accommodation within the London Borough of Lewisham that may be suitable for use as Extra Care Housing from 1 April 2028.
This exercise will help the Council understand the availability of suitable housing stock in the borough and inform future commissioning and procurement considerations.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning. Small firms win less of this buyer’s work than the market’s: 20% against 42%, n=61.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered. More of this buyer’s work stays local than in this market: 89% against 60%, n=81.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 96 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
