Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council is procuring targeted supported-housing support services for adults with complex and multiple needs in Manchester. The service combines specialist accommodation with housing-related support, care and mental-health support for people who cannot maintain independent living without this help, including people with eligible Care Act needs or at risk of developing them without stable accommodation. Where needed, providers must also offer domestic support to help residents retain independence and reduce reliance on residential care. The procurement is divided into female-only and mixed-gender provision. It is a health and social care service (CPV 85000000), with delivery in Manchester. The requirement is for accommodation-based support, rather than accommodation alone, and includes care and other interventions tailored to residents’ needs.

The Council invited tenders through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically through the Chest by 4pm on 26 October 2026; clarification questions were due by 19 October 2026 at 11am. The planned award date was 3 December 2026. Both lots have a stated contract period from 4 January 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend to 31 March 2031. Each lot is valued at £4,455,000 gross, including the extension; the stated total across the procurement is £8,910,000 gross. Female-only provision and mixed-gender provision are separate lots. For each, evaluation weights quality at 50%, social value at 20%, environmental considerations at 10% and price at 20%. Technical selection criteria are referenced in the procurement documents.

This opportunity suits providers able to deliver specialist supported housing alongside care, mental-health support and housing-related assistance for adults with multiple and complex needs. Providers should be equipped to help people who cannot sustain independent living, including those with Care Act needs or at risk of developing them, and to provide domestic support where required to maintain independence and reduce the need for residential care. The separate female-only lot calls for capability to deliver provision specifically for women; the other lot serves a mixed-gender cohort. The Council identifies the female-only lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, and the mixed-gender lot as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Quality and social value together account for most of the evaluation, alongside environmental performance and price. Technical participation requirements are set out in the procurement documents.
