Summary of the contracting process

The Derbyshire Homelessness Out of Hours Group (DHOG), led by Bolsover District Council with Amber Valley, Chesterfield, Derbyshire County, Derbyshire Dales, Erewash, High Peak, North East Derbyshire and South Derbyshire councils, plus Staffordshire Moorlands District Council, procured an out-of-hours homelessness service. The provider supports and advises people experiencing homelessness outside normal working hours and on bank holidays, excluding Derby City. The service covers Derbyshire and Staffordshire Moorlands, including locations in the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Moorlands council areas. It is a social work and related service involving accommodation support, classified under CPV 85311000. The procurement is for services under the light-touch regime and was structured as a single lot. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Two bids were received, with one reaching the final stage. Evaluation gave quality 70% and price 30%. The award was made on 29 July 2026 to People Potential Possibilities for £650,000 excluding VAT (£730,000 including VAT). The intended contract period runs from 29 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years in annual extensions, subject to performance, council requirements, budget and mutual consent. The award has a standstill period ending on 13 August 2026, and signature is scheduled for 28 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 9 June 2026, and the evaluation period was due to end on 2 July 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained multi-council demand for a coordinated homelessness response outside standard office hours, covering a broad geographical area and bank-holiday provision. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supporting people experiencing homelessness, the ability to provide timely advice and support outside normal working patterns, and systems for delivering a consistent service across Derbyshire and Staffordshire Moorlands. Capability in social work services involving accommodation is directly relevant. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so evidence of service quality, safeguarding, responsiveness, partnership working and reliable delivery would be important when this requirement returns. The opportunity also shows that a voluntary, community or social enterprise can compete successfully, alongside larger established providers.
