Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured supported living services for four individuals. The requirement falls within health and social care services and is to be delivered in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Supported living typically involves support that enables people to live in their own homes or community settings, but the published description gives no further detail on the particular support tasks or individual needs. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Flexible Procurement System (FPS) 76012, so it formed part of an existing purchasing arrangement rather than a standalone open competition. The selected provider is Lifeways Community Care.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lifeways Community Care. The award date was 25 May 2026, with an awarded value of £2,169,801. The service contract runs from 25 May 2026 to 11 August 2030 and can be extended for a further 12 months. The original estimated procurement value was £2,169,401. This was a mini-competition under Flexible Procurement System 76012; the available process information does not describe the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements. The submission deadline was 7 May 2026 at 12 noon. The award is recorded as active.

For providers of supported living services, this award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement from Doncaster Council serving four individuals. Lifeways Community Care, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a provider able to operate at scale. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need proven capability to deliver person-centred supported living for a small number of people over a sustained period, with the operational capacity to maintain consistent support and continuity. Experience working with local authorities and the ability to meet individual support needs would be relevant to this type of service. The route was a mini-competition within the council’s Flexible Procurement System, so familiarity with this purchasing arrangement would be useful to suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer.
