Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Torridge District Council centres on the "Young Persons Supported Housing" initiative. This project, in collaboration with LiveWest Homes Limited, provides supported housing services to young single individuals and young parents, aiding them in their progression towards independent living. Located in Bideford, the initiative caters to the South West region of the UK. As of 8th June 2026, the procurement has reached the award stage, and the contract was activated on 27th May 2026, set to conclude on 31st March 2029. The procurement method used was direct, reflected by the approach of below-threshold procurement without competition, under the special regime of light touch, specified by the legislation UKPGA 2023/54.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services with accommodation. Given the size and scope, larger enterprises, particularly those experienced in delivering support services to young people, would find themselves well-suited for such opportunities. Businesses in the social services sector can leverage this contract to broaden their service offerings and establish a foothold in public sector collaborations. The nature of the procurement allows for fostering deeper partnerships with local councils like Torridge District Council, hence promoting community-based service provision and enhancing business growth within the public sector domain.
