The Council is required to maintain access to supported and residential accommodation for adults with a learning disability.\nParagraph 5 of Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 provides a justification for the direct award of public contracts where a particular supplier has exclusive rights which means that only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or work.\nRBKC and WCC work together to commission bed-based short breaks from two different premises - Kingsbridge Road and Alision House. The services operate as an integrated bi-borough model, with shared capacity across both premises\nThe supplier has exclusive property rights to both Kingsbridge Road and Alision House: \n-\tThe Kingsbridge Road premises were purchased by RBKC in March 2024, the supplier was the existing tenant at the point of acquisition. RBKC is regularising that lease arrangement with the supplier to align with the proposed contracts. \n-\tThe supplier owns Alison House.\nThe supplier has confirmed it will not make these premises available to another supplier to deliver the services.\nMarket engagement and a supplier property survey have been undertaken by the Council which has confirmed that no alternative, suitable premises are currently available. Accordingly, there is no reasonable alternative to the services being provided by the supplier from the existing premises.\nAdditionally, the premises at Kingsbridge Road needs significant development work. Capacity at Kingsbridge Road will be significantly reduced during redevelopment works. Having one supplier operating from both premises will provide flexibility enabling the Council to manage capacity and maintain stability and service continuity during the redevelopment period. This further supports that there is no reasonable alternative.\nThe proposed three-year contract, with an optional two-year extension, will maintain service continuity and enable the Council to meet its statutory duties while the refurbishment works are completed at Kingsbridge Road; as well as providing time for the Council to further explore alternative premises.\nFurther information can be found in the Council’s decision paper \nhttps://rbkc.moderngov.co.uk/committees/documents/s35671/KD1013631R.pdf", "specialRegime": [ "lightTouch" ], "lots": [ { "id": "1", "status": "complete", "suitability": { "vcse": true }, "description": null } ], "documents": [ { "id": "conflictOfInterest", "documentType": "conflictOfInterest", "description": "Not published" } ], "procurementMethodRationaleClassifications": [ { "id": "singleSuppliersTechnicalReasons" } ] }, "awards": [ { "id": "1", "title": "Learning Disabilities Short Breaks and Emergency Support RBKC", "status": "pending", "value": { "amountGross": 2987160, "currency": "GBP" }, "mainProcurementCategory": "services", "aboveThreshold": true, "suppliers": [ { "id": "GB-PPON-PVNX-4328-XTYX", "name": "Learning Disability Network" } ], "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "85311000", "description": "Social work services with accommodation" } ], "relatedLot": "1" } ], "contractPeriod": { "startDate": "2026-09-14T00:00:00+01:00", "endDate": "2029-03-31T23:59:59+01:00", "maxExtentDate": "2031-03-31T23:59:59+01:00" }, "hasRenewal": true, "renewal": { "description": "optional 2 year extension term" }, "relatedLots": [ "1" ], "documents": [ { "id": "086543-2026", "documentType": "awardNotice", "noticeType": "UK5", "description": "Transparency notice on Find a Tender", "url": "https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/086543-2026", "datePublished": "2026-09-11T15:18:44+01:00", "format": "text/html" } ], "milestones": [ { "id": "1", "type": "futureSignatureDate", "dueDate": "2026-09-14T23:59:59+01:00", "status": "scheduled" } ] } ], "language": "en", "extensions": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_performance_failures_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] }, { "buyerID": [], "id": "099205-2026", "tag": [ "award", "contract" ], "date": "2026-10-20T17:27:32+01:00", "initiationType": "tender", "ocid": "ocds-h6vhtk-05ccef", "parties": [ { "name": "The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea", "id": "GB-PPON-PPRX-1592-MXGN", "identifier": { "scheme": "GB-PPON", "id": "PPRX-1592-MXGN" }, "address": { "streetAddress": "Town Hall, Hornton Street", "locality": "London", "postalCode": "W8 7NX", "country": "GB", "countryName": "United Kingdom", "region": "UKI33" }, "contactPoint": { "email": "procurement@rbkc.gov.uk" }, "roles": [ "buyer" ], "details": { "url": "https://www.rbkc.gov.uk/", "classifications": [ { "scheme": "UK_CA_TYPE", "id": "publicAuthoritySubCentralGovernment", "description": "Public authority -

The services operate as an integrated bi-borough model, with shared capacity across both premises\nThe supplier has exclusive property rights to both Kingsbridge Road and Alision House:\n- The Kingsbridge Road premises were purchased by RBKC in March 2024, the supplier was the existing tenant at the point of acquisition. RBKC is regularising that lease arrangement with the supplier to align with the proposed contracts.\n- The supplier owns Alison House.\nThe supplier has confirmed it will not make these premises available to another supplier to deliver the services.\nMarket engagement and a supplier property survey have been undertaken by the Council which has confirmed that no alternative, suitable premises are currently available. Accordingly, there is no reasonable alternative to the services being provided by the supplier from the existing premises.\nAdditionally, the premises at Kingsbridge Road needs significant development work. Capacity at Kingsbridge Road will be significantly reduced during redevelopment works. Having one supplier operating from both premises will provide flexibility enabling the Council to manage capacity and maintain stability and service continuity during the redevelopment period.
