Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council commissioned supported accommodation services in Exeter for people with complex support needs. The Housing First element supports up to 20 clients who have previously experienced rough sleeping, helping them maintain council tenancies through trauma-informed support. The service is intended for people with histories of addiction, homelessness and criminality, and includes help to engage with services, sustain tenancies and live fulfilling lives. The homelessness prevention element works alongside the Council’s housing caseworkers to support people at risk of homelessness, using referrals from housing caseworkers or the A2A forum. This is a social work service with accommodation, classified under CPV 85311000. The selected provider is Bournemouth Churches Housing Association Limited, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise based in Poole.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold contract. One lot covered the full requirement. The award was made to Bournemouth Churches Housing Association Limited on 3 July 2025. Its value was £136,980 excluding VAT, or £164,376 including VAT. The awarded service period ran from 1 August 2025 to 31 March 2026. A contract associated with the award was cancelled on 3 July 2025 because the notices were uploaded in error. The published outcome therefore records an active award alongside a cancelled contract. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender; the available information does not set out separate eligibility requirements, scoring criteria or a competitive evaluation basis.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Exeter City Council for specialist supported accommodation and homelessness prevention delivered through housing services. A credible future provider would need experience supporting people affected by rough sleeping, homelessness, addiction and criminality, together with the ability to use trauma-informed practice. The service requires practical tenancy-sustainment work, engagement with statutory and support services, and coordinated referrals from housing caseworkers and the A2A forum. Providers should be able to support a defined group of clients while working closely with council housing teams. Bournemouth Churches Housing Association’s selection indicates that a substantial voluntary, community or social enterprise with established accommodation and support capability is a relevant comparator for this requirement when it returns to market.
