UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool Borough Council is undertaking a procurement process related to the provision of supported accommodation services for individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. This initiative focuses on offering 10 units of accommodation and 2 crash pads at Scott Grange in Hartlepool, accompanied by tailored support to foster independent living. The procurement reached the award stage on 1 April 2026 and employs a direct procurement method without competition, as it falls below the threshold. The contract, awarded to HOME GROUP LIMITED, is expected to offer services from 6 April 2026 until 16 January 2027. Key objectives include preventing homelessness and supporting individuals with complex needs, thereby ensuring housing stability and impactful outcomes within Hartlepool's community.

This contract presents strategic opportunities for businesses engaged in health services, particularly those specialising in accommodation and support to vulnerable populations. Companies with expertise in personalised support and homelessness prevention can leverage this opportunity to extend their service offerings in the North East region of England, specifically Hartlepool. While this tender was awarded directly, future similar opportunities could favour businesses with a track record of impactful service delivery in the public sector. Collaboration or partnerships with local councils and organisations like HOME GROUP LIMITED could further facilitate business growth within the framework of public sector engagement.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Support Service for Provision of Supported Accommodation for Individuals who are Homeless or at Risk of Becoming Homeless

Notice Description

Lot 1 : Provision of 10 units of accommodation and 2 crash pads at Scott Grange, Hartlepool, alongside personalised support to help individuals develop the capacity to live independently. The service has been delivered by Home Group (formerly Stonham Housing) under consecutive contracts since 2015, and prior to that under the Supporting People Programme. This serves as a contract extension outside of the usual HBC Contract Procedure Rules. To provide background an opportunity for a 5-year contract was advertised in January 2025 for award end February 2025. Multiple clarification queries were raised during this process around costs and financial viability which required further investigation. The issues identified required a broader review of the service model within the council. This review confirmed the essential nature of the service in supporting individuals with complex needs. The service provides safe, secure housing and housing related support in Hartlepool with a key objective to support homeless people at risk and prevent homelessness. It is concluded that any break in these services would jeopardise tenancies, licenses to occupy and overall stability to individuals. This extension serves to avoid a gap in service delivery and will align with the contract end date of 16th January 2027 of Lot 3 of the framework (Dispersed Supported Housing - Medium/High Complex Needs). The service provided consistently meets aim and objectives and demonstrates positive and impactful outcomes for individuals supported within Hartlepool.
