Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process overseen by Hartlepool Borough Council involves the award of a contract for the provision of a rough sleepers assertive outreach service. The contract aims to support rough sleepers in moving off the streets into suitable accommodation in Hartlepool. The procurement was conducted under a limited competition method and falls below the threshold for open competition. With the process now complete, the contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set to run until 31st March 2028, with the possibility for renewal subject to budget and service standards. The procurement falls under the “services” category and focuses on social services, with the key locations being the regions designated as UKC11 in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the social services sector, particularly those with expertise in supporting vulnerable populations such as rough sleepers. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with niche skills in providing accommodation and support services would be well-suited to take advantage of such opportunities. Given the specific nature of the service required, companies with a track record in similar projects or those capable of delivering flexible, person-centred support would be poised to contribute effectively. The awarded supplier, Cornerstone Supported Housing & Counselling Ltd, stands to benefit from the £105,000 gross contract value, improving service delivery in the locality while gaining a strategic partnership with Hartlepool Borough Council.
