Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded a procurement process titled "SCE0053 - Saturday Day Services" aimed at supporting individuals at risk of homelessness. Conducted as an open tender process, this contract is under the specific category of "services" and aligns with the light-touch regime. The initial phase commenced on 1st July 2026 and is slated to run until 30th June 2027, with potential extensions extending up to 30th June 2029. The primary service location is Leicester, UKF21 region. The process, which included input from a public authority under sub-central government classifications, saw the award being granted to The Bridge Homelessness to Hope, a large organisation known for its services in the community sector. The procurement method focused on below-threshold competition facilitated through open competition.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in social services, particularly those dealing with social work and related services, as described under the CPV code 85300000. The open competition allowed for broad participation, leading to the receipt of four final-stage bids, including three from SMEs and one from a voluntary and community sector enterprise (VCSE). Companies with capabilities in harm reduction, practical support, and social work services related to homelessness will find this contract particularly suited to grow their service offerings. Enhanced opportunities exist for businesses that can demonstrate innovative approaches to substance use treatments and practical assistance, such as meal provision, laundry facilities, and harm reduction interventions. The contract holds potential for extension based on satisfactory performance, providing a stable platform for long-term business growth in the public sector.
