Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Swindon Borough Council focuses on providing "Domestic Abuse Dispersed Safe Accommodation" in Swindon, UK, under the industry category of social services. This contract aims to supply safe accommodation for individuals fleeing domestic abuse, covering diverse victim categories, including male victims, those with pets, and individuals unable to access standard refuge due to various factors. The procurement method was an open competition, with key activities in the tender stage taking place in late 2025, and the contract awarded in January 2026. The contract, which runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, involves an estimated spend of £113,000, excluding VAT. The procurement falls under a "lightTouch" regime, illustrating a streamlined and flexible approach suitable for specific kinds of contracts.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for service providers specialising in social services, particularly those with facilities for safe and self-contained accommodation. Businesses capable of delivering support to domestic abuse victims, integrating multi-agency collaborations, and offering social value enhancements are well-suited to compete. With the emphasis on flexibility and unique service offerings, businesses with experience in handling sensitive cases and providing wide-ranging support services are encouraged to engage. Winning the contract would solidify the supplier's standing in providing vital societal needs while setting a precedent for excellence in service delivery.
