Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council is spearheading a public procurement initiative entitled "Registered Provider Partners to deliver Supported Living Accommodation in Hertfordshire - Phase 1". This project is currently in the planning stage, with expectations for procurement activity to progress following a notice date set for 1st July 2026. The council, situated in Stevenage, UK, is seeking partnerships with registered housing providers to develop, own, and manage supported living accommodation on council-owned land within Hertfordshire. The industry focus is heavily on construction works for houses and related residential facilities. A significant investment of £8.6 million has been allocated for this project, with the contract period slated to commence in May 2027 and run through April 2029, with potential extension until 2030.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses engaged in construction and residential property development, particularly those specialising in supported living accommodations. It is well-suited for housing associations and local authorities that can oversee large-scale projects and manage properties once developed. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also explicitly encouraged to participate, given the project suitability criteria. For businesses, this initiative not only opens doors to significant revenue opportunities but also allows them to contribute to societal goals by supporting the housing needs of vulnerable groups within the community.
