Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is conducted by Exeter City Council, pertaining to the title "Contract 1. Support Services - Prospect House," which falls under the social work services with accommodation industry category and is located in Exeter, United Kingdom. The process, identified under the OCID ocds-h6vhtk-056437, has reached the award stage and is now complete as of 1st October 2025. The tender process involved the direct procurement method, executed below the threshold without competition, with a contract awarded on 1st August 2025 and set to conclude by 31st March 2026. This contract, valued at £164,000, focuses on providing 24-hour supported housing for rough sleepers with an uplift in funding dedicated to creating a women's only floor and additional staffing measures.

This tender opens doors for businesses, particularly those in the social services sector, to engage in meaningful contributions towards community support initiatives. Companies like Home Group, identified as a supplier and having experience in supported housing, would be particularly well-suited to compete, and large organisations with social objectives may find this contract aligns with their strategic goals. The procurement's emphasis on housing support services provides an excellent platform for enterprises specialising in community welfare, seeking to expand their portfolio and demonstrate expertise in offering comprehensive social care solutions. Small to medium-sized enterprises, particularly those classified as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), can also seize this opportunity to leverage their niche capabilities in contributing to socially impactful projects.
