Summary of the contracting process

Stafford Borough Council, in partnership with Staffordshire County Council, has completed the procurement process for a significant community-focused initiative titled "Rough Sleeper Initiative Supported Accommodation and Coproduction." The procurement process, which is now in the award stage as of 9th April 2026, was conducted using an open procedure under the UK's light touch regime. This service-based contract, aimed at addressing homelessness in Staffordshire, involves the provision of supported accommodation, focusing on individuals experiencing or at risk of rough sleeping. The contract, valued at £1.6 million, commenced on 8th April 2026 and is set to run until 31st March 2029, with potential extensions bringing the final date to 31st March 2032, contingent on further funding availability. The main delivery locations are within the UKG2 region of the United Kingdom.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the social services, accommodation support, and counselling sectors, particularly those experienced in delivering services to people with complex needs. The project also highlights the growing emphasis on coproduction models, which require suppliers to actively engage with end-users to refine service delivery. Businesses that specialise in residential health facilities, social work services with accommodation, and guidance and counselling services would find this opportunity particularly promising. Moreover, the successful supplier, TURNING POINT, exemplifies the scale and commitment required, but the door is open for SMEs and VCSEs to participate in similar future tenders by aligning with the project's objectives and requirements.

Notice Title

Rough Sleeper Initiative Supported Accommodation and Coproduction

Notice Description

Stafford Borough Council are procuring a contract for the provision of a rough sleeper initiative supported accommodation and coproduction service. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government have announced that a Homelessness and Rough Sleeper Grant will replace previous rough sleeper grant funding. Funding levels for this grant are yet to be confirmed and remain subject to ministerial approval. Grant conditions, along with illustrative allocations, will be announced later this year. Depending on the above grant allocation, Stafford Borough Council intend to deliver two inter-related projects to end rough sleeping. The first project is for six units of high-level supported accommodation that will form part of the local rough sleeper pathway. This pathway will contribute to ending rough sleeping in Stafford and increase the housing options available to individuals with multiple and complex needs who are rough sleeping, or at risk of rough sleeping. The overall aim of the project is to get individuals with a history of rough sleeping or repeat homelessness into sustainable accommodation, with tailored support that addresses underlying needs. The approach will provide strength-based solutions and ongoing support so that no one has to spend a night on our streets and instances of rough sleeping and repeat homelessness will be reduced. The second project is a coproduction model that will engage the voices of those with lived experience, involving the hardest to reach rough sleepers so their views and experiences become an integral element in developing accommodation and support services. To end rough sleeping, we need to shift the balance of power, listen to the voices of those with lived experience and adapt our services and strategies accordingly. This will not take place overnight but requires long-term commitment to gain trust, expertise and provide a platform for genuine change.

Such transfer assignment or novation shall not constitute a breach or require consent and the [contracting party] consents to the transfer assignment or novation of this Agreement in whole or in parts to any successor authority(ies) established under the local government re-organisation legislation and that as a consequence the obligations and rights under this Agreement shall continue to apply and be enforceable by or against any successor authority(ies) following a local government re-organisation; and 2.2 the parties acknowledge that if applicable the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 may apply and agree to comply with all consequential and reasonable obligations arising thereunder 2.3 the parties acknowledge that any new organisation(s) may utilise or create and manage all and any existing or required framework agreements relating to the provision of the [goods and] services provided under this current agreement"
