Bromley and Hounslow councils are retendering contracts for supported living services to ensure continuity and improve provision for residents.

Bromley Council's Executive agreed in June 2026 to retender a £1.2 million annual contract for supported living services, aiming to ensure continuity for 17 adults with learning disabilities. The current provider, Achieve Together, declined to extend its contract, which ends in January 2027. The procurement process began in June 2026 to find a new provider for services at four specific addresses.

Hounslow Council's Cabinet approved plans in March 2026 to reconfigure and retender learning disability supported living services across the borough. This involves a new five-year contract, with an option to extend for three years, budgeted at £36.2 million. The aim is to improve quality and coherence of support for residents. For Bromley, a new contract is scheduled to start on 26 January 2027.

Supported living services provide accommodation and support for individuals who need assistance to live independently, including those with learning disabilities. These services are designed to promote independence, choice, and control, offering an alternative to residential care homes.
