Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Croydon is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Single Homelessness - Supported Accommodation," aimed at serving the locality of Croydon, UKI62, United Kingdom. This pre-market engagement is not yet an invitation to tender, but seeks to inform the Council's forthcoming service specification, contract terms, and tender documentation related to a 7-year contract. The sector involved is services, specifically social work services with accommodation, and hotel accommodation services. Potential suppliers are invited to express interest by 4th July 2025, with a formal notice expected on 28th July 2025. The process follows the legal basis set out in UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses experienced in providing Supported Accommodation services. The contract, valued at £8.4 million gross, is particularly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, requiring providers equipped to manage extensive operations around the clock with qualified personnel. It offers a substantial commitment, as the contract period spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2033. Businesses capable of rapidly sourcing and managing accommodation for single homeless adults within Croydon will find this tender conducive to expansion in the public service domain. Those who can strategically plan client transitions will align well with the procurement objectives. Engaged providers should send detailed expressions of interest to Leo Fenn at RSTeam@croydon.gov.uk addressing critical questions related to service delivery and execution.
