Learning Disability Individual Service Fund (ISF) Framework

London Borough of Bexley · Local authority

In brief

London Borough of Bexley has announced plans to buy care and healthcare work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £20,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 4 years, starting 1 December 2026.

It is split into 2 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Key dates

Express interest by
11:59pm, Saturday 1 August 2026

This is the first stage. You register interest now, and shortlisted suppliers are invited to bid later.

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 5 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £20,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

Tender documents

What the notice says

An Individual Service Fund (ISF) is one way of managing a person's personal budget for care and support: • The provider manages the budget on behalf of the individual, unlike a Direct Payment where the individual manages the funds themselves. • ISFs offer greater flexibility and choice, enabling people to shape their care around their preferences. • Individuals can choose to use multiple providers to meet their needs. • There is flexibility to carry forward (roll over) funds or support into future weeks or months, allowing people to plan for specific activities or goals.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
  4. Register your interest before 11:59pm, Saturday 1 August 2026. Shortlisted suppliers are then invited to bid.
