Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council procured consultancy and research services to create a regional Single Homelessness Pathway blueprint. The blueprint is intended to provide a strategic framework for consistent access to homelessness support across the region, serving the East Midlands Combined County Authority area. The requirement combines research and development consultancy with health and social work expertise, including market and economic research, polling and statistics. Nottinghamshire County Council acted for the East Midlands Combined County Authority, with delivery across England. This is a service opportunity for organisations experienced in homelessness strategy, public service design, regional coordination and evidence-based social research.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Private Public Ltd on 2 March 2026. It was run as a call-off from the ESPO 664_25 Lot 8e arrangement, with Nottinghamshire County Council as the buying organisation. The tender submission deadline was 2 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The awarded value is £83,364.60. The contract runs from 10 July 2026 to 4 September 2026. The procurement was for services and the tender was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the call-off process, although the published information does not state the individual scoring criteria.

This award indicates a focused requirement for a supplier able to turn homelessness evidence, stakeholder input and service-system knowledge into a practical regional access framework. Credible competitors would need experience in homelessness pathways or related health and social care services, alongside capability in strategic consultancy, qualitative and quantitative research, market analysis and statistics. The work also calls for the ability to coordinate across public bodies and translate findings into consistent approaches that can be used across a region. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, so a specialist consultancy with relevant public-sector delivery experience could be well placed, either independently or with partners covering research and homelessness expertise.
