Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council is spearheading the extension of the Community and Accommodation Based Support (CABS) framework, focusing on services for homelessness and individuals in vulnerable situations. The key area is located in the UKK13 region, specifically Gloucester, United Kingdom. The procurement is at the award and contract update stage, reflecting developments as of 10th February 2026. This public procurement falls under the health and social work services industry category and aligns with the legal basis 32014L0024 under CELEX. The current framework supports numerous lots, including specialist community support and various accommodation-based support services. This initiative includes a contract extension from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2028 for maintaining stability due to unforeseen local government reorganisation impacts.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for companies within the health and social services industry to expand their business footprint in the Gloucestershire area. The framework is well suited for businesses providing specialised community support services, such as support for sensory impairment or refugee assistance, and the establishment of safe housing options like hubs or rented accommodations for rough sleepers. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer robust solutions for community support and flexible accommodation solutions can benefit from engaging with this framework. With an open procurement method, the process encourages competitive participation and allows for collaborative efforts among multiple suppliers to meet the comprehensive requirements of the Gloucestershire community.
