Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council is buying accommodation-based housing support services for Morwenna Court. The service covers staff costs for housing-related support across 20 accommodation units in several properties in Exeter. The work is social work delivered alongside accommodation, rather than accommodation provision alone. Bournemouth Churches Housing Association was selected to provide the service. The requirement is relevant to housing associations, supported-housing providers and social care organisations able to staff and deliver housing-related support across multiple properties in Exeter. The award concerns one service requirement covering the accommodation units as a whole.

The procurement was awarded directly without competition and is below the relevant threshold. Bournemouth Churches Housing Association received an initial award on 3 July 2025, worth £136,980 excluding VAT (£164,376 including VAT), for a contract running from 1 August 2025 to 31 March 2026. The contract was signed on 1 August 2025 and completed on 31 March 2026; its final value was £140,909.33 excluding VAT (£169,091.20 including VAT). A further award to the same supplier was dated 20 August 2026, worth £211,634 excluding VAT (£253,960.80 including VAT), for a period from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The notice for this second award was subsequently cancelled as having been submitted in error and linked to the wrong notice. No competitive evaluation was reported.

For housing associations and supported-housing or social-work providers, this award shows Exeter City Council has funded staff to deliver housing-related support to 20 accommodation units across several properties. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need the operational capacity to provide support staff across multiple locations and experience delivering housing-related services alongside accommodation. Bournemouth Churches Housing Association, a large voluntary and community-sector provider, was selected for the initial contract and named in the later award that was cancelled in error. This is evidence of the type of provider associated with the requirement, not a stated restriction on who could qualify. The route was a direct award without competition, so the published outcome does not provide evidence of scored criteria, required accreditations or formal capacity thresholds.
