Director of Social Services
Bromley's Director of Social Services awarded an urgent contract in January 2026 to ensure continuity of direct payment support services.
In January 2026, Bromley Council's Director of Social Services awarded an urgent interim contract for the Direct Payment Support Service to The Disability Syndicate. This action, taken under the Council's Contract Procedure Rules, followed the insolvency of the previous provider, Vibrance Ltd, and aimed to ensure continuity of service for residents.
The contract, valued at £563,907 over 24 months, was a direct award, bypassing the typical competitive tendering process outlined in the Procurement Act 2023, due to the urgent need. Officers were commended for their prompt response, with no residents reported as being impacted.
