Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Council is commissioning a specialist domestic abuse safe accommodation support service for victim-survivors of domestic abuse and their children across Shropshire. The service will support the Council’s duties under Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 by providing safety, recovery, stability and sustainable housing outcomes. The scope includes a flexible range of accommodation: refuge places, dispersed accommodation, Sanctuary Scheme provision and emergency accommodation. Alongside accommodation, the provider will deliver specialist domestic abuse support, advocacy, risk management, support for children and young people, and move-on planning. Delivery should be trauma-informed, inclusive and responsive to the needs of rural communities. This is a health and social work service, with Shropshire as the delivery area.

The procurement reached tender: Shropshire Council invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 14 October 2026 at 11:00, and the tender submission deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option to extend by up to two years, to 31 March 2034. Its total gross value, including extensions, is £3,850,000. There is one lot. Bids may be submitted electronically in English. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality, 35% price and 5% social value. The award decision was due by 17 November 2026.

This opportunity suits specialist domestic abuse and housing-support providers able to manage safe accommodation alongside intensive support for adults and children. Relevant capability includes refuge and dispersed accommodation management, emergency placements, Sanctuary Scheme delivery, advocacy, risk assessment and management, trauma-informed practice, children’s support and planned moves into sustainable housing. Providers will need to respond flexibly to victim-survivors with varied and complex needs, while making services inclusive and accessible across rural communities. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations from those sectors may be well placed to compete. Strong service quality and measurable social value will be important alongside price.
