Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council has re-opened the "CPU7231 – Framework for Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness)" under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, leveraging the flexibility of the Light Touch Regime. This procurement process falls within the health and social work services category and is located in Nottingham, UK. The framework aims to engage experienced providers for services supporting homeless individuals across various demographics, including those with protected characteristics and severe multiple disadvantage. The tender, initiated on 8th April 2025, is in the active stage with a submission deadline set for 14th May 2025, allowing potential suppliers adequate time to prepare their applications electronically.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social services and support for vulnerable populations to expand their operations. Bids are welcomed on various service lots, such as supported accommodation, transition services, homelessness prevention hubs, and employment placements for homeless households. The open procurement procedure ensures a competitive and transparent bidding process where providers can apply for registration across multiple lots. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in social care, housing, and support services are well-positioned to compete, benefiting from the estimated £60 million value of the framework agreement over the four-year duration. The framework provides a collaborative platform for service providers to enhance their outreach and support networks within the community.

Notice Description

This is a re-opening of the Framework for 'Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness) CPU3880', which was previously advertised on the Find A Tender Service on the 4th October 2022. As this is a re-opening of an existing framework, this process will be conducted under the Public Contract Regulations 2015 but with the flexibility provided by the Light Touch Regime (Regulation s74 to 77).

Nottingham City Council is seeking tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified providers to add to an existing multiple provider framework for Community Based Support (CBS)and Accommodation Based Services (ABS) for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness).

Providers will apply to be registered on the procurement framework against the Lot(s) of their choice. ABS and CBS Services will then be called off from the Lots with exacting details.
