Summary of the contracting process

Liverpool City Council procured temporary and permanent accommodation services for homeless households in Liverpool. The requirement covers safe, suitable and cost-effective housing to meet demand surges, reduce reliance on unsuitable hotels and bed-and-breakfast placements, manage costs and support the Council’s Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy. Six property categories were included: one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, four-bedroom, five- to six-bedroom properties, and houses in multiple occupation. The service includes temporary accommodation, with a guaranteed proportion becoming available as permanent accommodation. It covers housing, administrative housing and accommodation services (CPV 70333000, 75123000 and 98341000), delivered in Liverpool by accommodation, housing and property providers.

The procurement is complete and was run as an above-threshold open procedure. Awards were made on 17 March 2026. Clear Path Homes Limited received £73,816,000 for lots 1–5; Getting Started in Property Limited received £18,443,000 for lot 1; Regency Hotel Group Limited received £32,430,000 for lots 2–5; Unity Investment Group Limited received £35,334,000 for lots 1–6; and We Regenerate Limited received £40,931,000 for lots 1–4. Contracts for Clear Path Homes, Regency Hotel Group, Unity Investment Group and We Regenerate were signed between 1 and 9 July 2026. Their periods end on 30 June 2031, with a possible two-year extension. Evaluation weighted price at 50%, quality at 40% and social value at 10%.

This procurement shows sustained council demand for providers able to source, manage and operate safe accommodation across several property sizes, including HMOs, and to support homeless households moving from temporary placements into permanent tenancies. Credible competitors would need suitable property portfolios or access to accommodation, the operational capacity to manage changing local demand and service-user circumstances, and the ability to provide reliable housing administration. Performance would be monitored through monthly measures covering temporary accommodation provision, conversion to move-on tenancies and voids exceeding seven days. The competition attracted substantial SME participation and explicitly identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist housing, property, care or accommodation organisations could compete, including through focused property categories.
