Becoming a provider in Havering
Proposed care provisions
Proposed care provisions can be at various stages of readiness when a provider contacts Havering Council.
These can include providers:
- making tentative enquires as to demand for services in an area
- having a property they are thinking of purchasing for use as a care provision
- wishing to deregister a former or current care provision for development into a different type of care provision
- having a new provision that they wish to have on-boarded and verified
- having plans for a new build care provision
Havering will want to understand the intended provision more and be able to support by way of guidance and advice.
Approval process
All potential schemes must in the first instance make contact with the Portfolio Manager in the Adult’s Commissioning Team.
At present, we do not support any new developments in this area, as the existing provision is sufficient to meet projected needs. We will only consider new proposals if clear evidence is provided that directly addresses the specific gaps highlighted in the market position statement.
Any new development proposals must clearly demonstrate how they will meet one or more of the identified needs to be considered for support.
