Summary of the contracting process

Hastings Borough Council has successfully awarded a contract for the project titled "Accommodation for Ex-Offenders. Support Officer Employment" within the recruitment services industry category. The project aims to employ a Project Support Worker to assist homeless ex-offenders in securing accommodation in the private rented sector in the South East region of the United Kingdom. This initiative is funded by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) and includes funding for variable costs like incentives and rent in advance. The contract period commences on 1st April 2025 and concludes on 31st January 2026. The procurement was completed using an exemption method, with the tender status being marked as complete as of 29th January 2025.

This tender presents a valuable growth opportunity for businesses operating in the recruitment and social services sectors, particularly those focusing on social impact and community projects. Businesses that have experience working with vulnerable populations, such as ex-offenders, would be well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. Since the contract also includes funds for various costs associated with housing and support, organisations skilled in financial management and community outreach may find additional avenues for service provision and funding utilisation. ST RICHARD OF CHICHESTER CHRISTIAN CARE ASSOCIATION LTD., a large VCSE provider, has been awarded this contract, highlighting the Council's preference for organisations with a robust track record in social care.
