Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured accommodation-based support services for Howell Road. The requirement covers housing support within 11 units of accommodation operated by the supplier, funded through the Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Domestic Abuse Grant from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. The support is non-eligible for Housing Benefit. The service falls within social work services with accommodation and is a light-touch public service requirement. Delivery is associated with Exeter City Council and the Howell Road accommodation. The buyer is a sub-central public authority. The requirement concerns supported accommodation and related social support rather than construction, property purchase or general facilities management, so it is most relevant to organisations operating supported living, homelessness accommodation or accommodation-linked social care services.

The procurement reached completion through a below-threshold direct award without competition. One completed lot produced two separate awards. SANCTUARY SUPPORTED LIVING (SSL) was awarded £42,000 excluding VAT (£50,400 gross) on 3 July 2025 for a contract running from 1 August 2025 to 31 March 2026; that contract was signed on 1 August 2025. A further award to SANCTUARY HOUSING ASSOCIATION was made on 20 August 2026 for £93,100 excluding VAT (£111,720 gross), covering 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The stated evaluation route was direct award without competition, under the light-touch regime and below the applicable threshold. The awards are active, while the tender status is complete.

This procurement demonstrates Exeter City Council’s demand for accommodation-based housing support across 11 supported units, funded through a homelessness and rough-sleeping grant. A credible future provider would need to operate suitable accommodation, deliver structured housing support and provide social work services to residents who may be homeless or at risk of rough sleeping. Relevant capability includes managing supported living units, maintaining safe and suitable accommodation, coordinating tenant support and meeting grant-funded service requirements. Experience with local-authority commissioning, homelessness services, domestic-abuse-related support or benefits boundaries would strengthen a competing offer. The selected providers show that both specialist supported-living organisations and larger housing associations can be relevant, with organisational capacity to operate accommodation and deliver support as an integrated service.
