Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council is procuring a rough sleeping prevention service for Bristol. The service is intended for people who are new to, or at imminent risk of, rough sleeping, including people with multiple disadvantages and complex or overlapping support needs. It combines short-stay accommodation away from the streets with stabilisation, recovery support and planning for sustainable move-on. The provider must support people to secure suitable longer-term accommodation or reconnect with another appropriate place, while working with multiple agencies and key service providers. This is a public service in the housing, health and social care fields, delivered in Bristol. The requirement is suited to organisations able to provide accommodation alongside intensive, coordinated homelessness support and practical pathways into sustainable housing.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made through an open procedure under the light-touch regime. St Mungo’s was selected for the single lot, subject to a standstill period ending on 18 September 2026; the scheduled contract signature date is 22 September 2026. The award date is 8 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. The awarded value is £1,366,197 gross. The service was evaluated on quality questions weighted at 92% and social value weighted at 8%. The tender deadline was 1 June 2026, with enquiries closing on 25 May 2026 and the award decision period ending on 1 July 2026. Four bids reached the final stage, including three from SMEs and two from VCSEs.

This award shows Bristol City Council’s demand for a substantial, integrated homelessness service combining accommodation, prevention, recovery and move-on support. Organisations that may be credible when this requirement next returns will need operational control of suitable short-stay accommodation, experience supporting rough sleepers and people facing multiple disadvantages, and the ability to manage complex, overlapping needs safely. Strong referral, assessment and case-management arrangements will matter, as will practical relationships with housing providers, statutory services and other agencies that can secure sustainable move-on or reconnection. The competition also demonstrates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises can participate. A credible successor provider would need to evidence service quality, measurable social value, partnership working and sufficient capacity to deliver across Bristol.
