Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Rough Sleeping Navigators Service" is being managed by Bristol City Council, located in Bristol, United Kingdom. This procurement, initiated as a tender, falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting housing services, and is slated to support individuals facing homelessness by helping them navigate accommodation pathways. It is being conducted through an open procedure and is currently at the award stage, with the completion of an active contract signed on 31st March 2026. The service is scheduled to run from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a potential additional service value option available. This procurement is designated under the light touch regime, focusing on providing a high-impact solution to social care needs within the UKK11 region.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for businesses involved in health and social work services to contribute to addressing societal challenges, particularly those familiar with system navigation and multi-agency collaboration to aid complex support needs. Firms with expertise in providing 'through care' services, advocating for service users, and driving system change through strategic partnerships would find this contract beneficial for business growth. The involvement of a large supplier such as St Mungo's, already awarded for this contract, sets a precedent for well-established VCSEs that have the capability and resources to operate at scale in the social care sector.
