Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council, in collaboration with Gateshead Council, has completed the procurement process for the "Specialist Supported Accommodation for Women (with Children) with Substance Recovery Needs" project. This service, part of the broader health and social work services category (CPV code 85000000), is aimed at providing specialist supported services across Newcastle and Gateshead. The procurement stage has now reached completion, with the contract being awarded on 1st February 2025 to The Cyrenians, operating as Changing Lives. The procurement method used was a limited tender, specifically tailored due to the absence of competition for technical reasons.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work, particularly those with expertise in providing accommodation and support for individuals with substance recovery needs. The successful bidder, The Cyrenians, demonstrated their ability to meet the specific requirements and limited market capacity, highlighting a niche area for potential future tenders. Businesses with similar capabilities in delivering specialised support services and who can navigate direct negotiation processes due to limited competition would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts.
