Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of Single Homelessness Short Term Supported Accommodation Service," aiming to address the housing support needs of single homeless individuals aged 18 and above. This service will operate across two locations in Halton: Brennan Lodge in Widnes and Halton Lodge in Runcorn. The procurement process, held under an open procedure and classified under the Health and Social Work Services CPV category, culminated in a contract award on the 1st of December 2025. This decision followed a transparent tender process with a standstill period ending on the 3rd of February 2026. The service is set to commence on the 1st of May 2026, with possibilities for extension up to April 2031.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity, particularly for organisations experienced in managing supported accommodation services. It offers a chance for those involved in the health and social care sectors to enhance their portfolios by providing support designed to empower individuals and facilitate their transition to independent living. Organisations, especially those with a track record in social enterprises or voluntary sector services, were well-suited for this tender, as evidenced by the successful bid by the City of Liverpool YMCA, indicating the strategic value for larger VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) entities in this impactful societal segment.

Notice Title

Provision of Single Homelessness Short Term Supported Accommodation Service

Notice Description

Halton Borough Council is looking to commission a Short-term Supported Accommodation service for Single Homeless people. The Service will accommodate and support single homeless persons who have housing support needs, aged 18 years and over. The Service will provide supported accommodation for up to twelve months, during which time the Provider will support individuals to develop capacity, self-esteem and life skills, to break the cycle that has led to homelessness and enable people to move on into independent, settled accommodation. The ethos of the Service is to focus on what matters most to each individual, empowering them to build better lives on their own terms, and helping them to achieve the personal change necessary to break the cycle that has led to them becoming homeless. Approximately 300 - 350 referrals are received into the Service annually. The average length of stay is typically 168 days, however some individuals will require a longer period of support to move-on into independent accommodation. The Service will be delivered from two sites across the borough of Halton, with accommodation at Brennan Lodge in Widnes and Halton Lodge in Runcorn. TUPE will apply to this contract.
