Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council has concluded a direct procurement process titled "Support Services for Morwenna Court," aimed at providing housing support services for single homeless households and rough sleepers. The project takes place in the United Kingdom, specifically targeting the UKK4 region. The contract was awarded to Bournemouth Churches Housing Association Limited, a supplier based in Poole, on 1st August 2025, with the services being delivered from the start of that month through to the end of March 2026. This procurement falls under the industry category of social work services with accommodation and utilised a below-threshold direct method without competition, adhering to the legal framework laid out in UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in providing social services, particularly those with expertise in housing support for vulnerable populations. Although the contract was directly awarded due to specific service criteria, it highlights opportunities within the public sector for suppliers that can offer unique and indispensable services. Companies with a strong track record in similar support services or those looking to expand into the public sector market may find inspiration in how specialised capabilities can lead to direct awards and further business growth. Additionally, SMEs and VCSEs operating in this domain can benefit from understanding how public authorities identify and commission essential services directly from the market.
