Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Short-term, Temporary Supported Housing for Single Homeless Customers in Central/South Sunderland with Support Needs" project. This initiative addresses the need for supported housing to assist homeless individuals to transition to independent living. The procurement process consisted of various stages, including planning, tendering, and awarding phases, which culminated in February 2026. The awarded supplier, Tyne Housing Association, will provide services starting on 1st June 2026, with a contract period extending up to May 2032, including renewal options. This contract, valued at £955,021, falls under the "social work and related services" category and focuses on services within the UKC23 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in social work services and accommodation support. Since it was an open procedure, companies with innovative solutions for housing and community support stood a strong chance of success. The procurement process highlighted opportunities for SMEs, as evidenced by multiple bids from such entities. Sunderland City Council desires to collaborate with organisations capable of ensuring safety and meeting complex support needs for homeless individuals, thereby paving the way for these businesses to expand their scope and expertise in community-centred services. This aligns with governmental efforts to enhance social value and quality service delivery in local regions.
