Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council is procuring housing-related support services for adults with a mental health diagnosis. The provider will deliver flexible, person-centred floating support across West Berkshire to approximately 20–30 service users. The work is intended to help people maintain their tenancies, live independently, develop life skills, manage finances, and access health, housing and community services. It also aims to promote wellbeing and prevent homelessness. The service provider will work in partnership with housing providers and mental health services. This is a social care and rehabilitation service, including social work services with accommodation (CPV 85311000) and rehabilitation services (CPV 85312500). West Berkshire Council is the buying organisation, and the service is covered by the light-touch regime.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot and is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Enquiries had to be submitted by 31 August 2026 at 1:00 pm, and tender responses were due by 7 September 2026 at 2:00 pm. Bids must be uploaded to the INTEND e-tendering portal; other submission methods are rejected. The contract period is 1 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with renewal stated as 3+2 and a maximum extension date of 1 November 2031. The overall estimated value is £579,507 gross. The lot value is recorded as 579,507 AED gross. Evaluation is based on 50% technical or quality, 40% cost and 10% social value.

This opportunity suits providers experienced in housing-related support for adults with mental health needs, particularly organisations able to deliver flexible floating support across multiple tenures. Relevant capability includes helping people sustain accommodation, build independent-living skills, manage money, improve wellbeing and connect with health, housing and community services. Suppliers should be able to work effectively with housing providers and mental health services, and manage delivery for approximately 20–30 service users. The requirement is expressly reserved for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist local or regional organisations as well as established support providers. The 50% quality weighting means service design, delivery approach and demonstrated ability to meet users’ needs will be central to competing successfully.

Planning Information

West Berkshire Council is undertaking a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) exercise in relation to the commissioning of Housing Related Support Services for adults with a mental health diagnosis. The Council is seeking to engage with providers to inform the development of the service model, specification, and procurement approach.

Through this PME, the Council is particularly interested in gaining market insight on service delivery models, innovation, capacity within the sector, and the potential challenges and opportunities associated with delivering this type of support. Feedback from providers will help shape the final specification and ensure the procurement process is proportionate and attractive to the market. The PME event will be conducted via Microsoft Teams on 9 June 2026 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm. This session will provide an overview of the proposed service and offer an opportunity for providers to ask questions and share feedback with commissioners and procurement officers.
