UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council procured supported accommodation and tenancy-readiness support for 14 young people aged 18 to 21 in Wolverhampton. The target population comprises young people in care, care leavers, people with care experience and those at the edge of care. The provider must supply 14 self-contained accommodation units and support residents to develop the skills needed for independent living. The service is intended to keep young people safe, improve their life chances and provide early help for vulnerable families, including support for children and young people who are care experienced. This is a health and social work service, with delivery in Wolverhampton. The council sought a diverse provider market, particularly organisations based locally, and identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to People Potential Possibilities on 30 June 2026. It used an open procedure, with 11 bids received and three reaching the final stage. The awarded contract value is £800,000 excluding VAT (£960,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with two optional one-year extensions; the maximum term ends on 31 July 2030. The contract was evaluated on quality at 80%, social value at 15%, and equality, diversity and inclusion at 5%. Economic and technical selection requirements were as set out in the invitation to tender. The service is governed by minimum acceptable performance requirements and key performance indicators.

This award demonstrates demand from Wolverhampton for a provider able to combine supported accommodation with practical tenancy-readiness work for young adults with care experience. A credible competitor would need access to 14 suitable self-contained units and the operational capacity to support 14 residents safely and consistently. Relevant strengths include experience of housing-related support, safeguarding, independent-living preparation and working with care leavers or young people at risk of care. Providers should be able to evidence robust performance management against key performance indicators, reliable staffing and partnership working with the council and other support services. The evaluation also shows that service quality carries greatest weight, while social value and equality, diversity and inclusion are material considerations. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable.
