Summary of the contracting process

The Dumfries and Galloway Council has completed a procurement process for "Temporary Accommodation with Housing Support" within the Dumfries & Galloway region. This initiative aims to supply self-contained accommodation with housing support for adults experiencing homelessness and demanding support services. The procurement falls within the social work services industry category and follows a limited procurement method due to a lack of competition and existing supplier availability. The procurement, which progressed to the 'award' stage, resulted in contracts signed on 20th February 2025. The awarded contracts distribute services across multiple locations, including Dumfries, Annan, and Stranraer, specifically tailored to meet out-of-hours emergency accommodation needs.

This tender provides substantial prospects for business growth within the social services sector by securing multi-year agreements and establishing relationships with regional authorities. Companies specialised in housing support services, particularly those capable of offering out-of-hours solutions, would find great synergy with this offering. Opportunities are particularly apt for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger firms with a firm presence or partnerships within the region, as the procurement outcomes indicate successful engagement by both size scales of businesses such as Wheatley Homes South, S & A Homes, and Bethany Christian Trust. By engaging in such contracts, businesses can enhance their portfolio and potentially expand services tailored to regional public needs.
