Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council is currently engaged in the planning stages of two procurement processes related to housing services in the United Kingdom. The first process, titled "Temporary Housing Open Framework," aims to establish a compliant route for procuring short-term housing solutions. This process is set to begin accepting future notices from 1 June 2026, with the contract period spanning from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The second process, "Temporary and Supported Accommodation Provision," focuses on creating opportunities for the provision of temporary housing for statutory and non-statutory needs under the Housing Act 1996 and Homelessness Reduction Act 2017. This contract is planned from 1 April 2026 to 1 April 2030, with renewal options extending to 2034.

Both procurement activities offer significant opportunities for businesses specialising in housing services, social work, and accommodation facilities, particularly those within the Greater Manchester region. These tenders are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), providing them with the opportunity to expand their operations while contributing to addressing urgent housing needs. The engagement includes a framework agreement, allowing successful bidders to secure ongoing work and foster long-term growth. These initiatives not only bolster business opportunities but also support the community by addressing critical housing shortages, especially for vulnerable groups.
