Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process executed by Cumberland Council, located in Carlisle, UK, involved the "Transitional Accommodation Service (TAS)" project. This project, under the main category of health and social work services, aims to help individuals eligible for Adult Social Care supported housing. The procurement was conducted under a "lightTouch" special regime and was marked as below threshold with an unknown procurement method. The status of the procurement stage is complete, with an award given on 27th March 2025. The contract period spans from 28th March 2025 to 27th March 2026, with a potential six-month extension if funding permits. The awarded contract, valued at £205,425 (gross value of £246,510), is primarily accessible within the Cumberland region (UKD1) in the United Kingdom.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly those that can provide community housing solutions with support for re-enablement or long-term use. Large firms, similar in scale to Home Group Limited—the awarded supplier—would find themselves well-suited to compete for contracts of this nature. Businesses that can demonstrate efficiency and responsiveness in accommodating adult social care needs within the set geographical region will find room for sustainable growth by engaging in such public procurement opportunities. The ability to offer high-quality, adaptive community housing services can position firms to secure future contracts as part of ongoing public sector collaboration.
