Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough Council procured a domestic abuse safe accommodation service for people requiring safe housing and related support. The requirement falls within health and social work services (CPV 85000000) and is delivered in the Middlesbrough area. It is a council-funded public service requirement under the light-touch regime. The procurement covered one service lot and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful provider is The Cyrenians Ltd, a large organisation based in Gateshead. Businesses considering future requirements of this type should assess whether they can provide safe accommodation and the associated specialist domestic abuse support within Middlesbrough and the surrounding area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 August 2026 to The Cyrenians Ltd. The award is active, with a gross value of £1,801,800 and a value excluding the stated gross amount of £1,766,500. The contract period is from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a maximum extent to 30 November 2031 through two possible 12-month extensions. It used an above-threshold open procedure. Two bids were received and two reached the final stage. Evaluation was weighted 85% to quality and 15% to price. The award decision was due by 20 August 2026, and the planned signature date was 31 October 2026.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for specialist domestic abuse safe accommodation in Middlesbrough. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can provide safe, suitable accommodation alongside reliable support for people affected by domestic abuse, and manage delivery as a council-commissioned health and social care service. Quality is the dominant consideration, so evidence of safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, service-user support, referral management and effective outcomes would be important. Providers should also be able to demonstrate operational capacity across the local area, dependable staffing and partnership working with relevant statutory and voluntary-sector organisations. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be able to compete, either directly or through appropriate delivery partnerships.
