Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council, as the buying organisation, recently completed the procurement process for the project titled "The Provision of Homes For Ukraine Wrap-Around Support." This service is focused on providing advice and casework support for Ukrainian nationals and their relatives residing in Southampton under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. The procurement process utilised an open procedure, with the contract awarded to the Southampton Citizens Advice Bureau. Key stages of the process included the tender announcement on 27th February 2026, submission deadline on 31st March 2026, and contract signing on 2nd July 2026. The contract spans from 2nd July 2026 to 31st May 2027, with a possible extension up to 31st May 2029, in the housing services category based in the region UKJ3, United Kingdom.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in housing services and community support. It allows the successful provider, typically SMEs or VCSEs, to deliver vital services to a specific demographic in need. Organisations skilled in providing tailored advice and support services could greatly benefit from such contracts, enhancing their service portfolios and expanding their market presence. The open procedure suggests a transparent and competitive bidding environment, which can encourage businesses with innovative service solutions and a strong community-focused ethos to engage and possibly secure such contracts in future tendering processes.
