Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process has been initiated by Sunderland City Council for the "Homeless Support Project Interim Contract," which falls under the services category in the social work sector with accommodation, located in Sunderland, UK (region UKC23). The procurement reached the award stage on 29th August 2025. It involves an interim contract to manage dispersed properties for individuals with a history of rough sleeping and complex needs. The procurement method used was direct and below the threshold without competition, under a light-touch special regime. The contract duration is from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a potential extension to accommodate any procurement timeline delays for a longer-term contract.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the social services sector, particularly those skilled in providing accommodation and support to vulnerable populations. Large enterprises with established capabilities in handling social work services, especially involving complex needs and homelessness, are well-suited to engage with such contracts. As this procurement method highlights a direct approach and bypasses competition due to the threshold, businesses with a strong operational presence and those already involved in social care can leverage this opportunity to expand their services and strengthen their portfolio within the sub-central government framework.
