Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council has completed a procurement process for providing support within homelessness accommodation, specifically in the Pool area. The tender, titled "Provision of Support within Homelessness Accommodation (Pool)," falls under the Health and Social Work Services category. The location of service delivery is in the UKK30 region, with the main procurement stage being the Award stage, completed on 1st July 2026. The procurement method employed was limited and below threshold, adhering to a "light touch" regime. The contract was signed with St Petroc's at a gross value of £99,469.41, for a period starting from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in trauma-informed social support and homelessness services. Companies with experience in providing flexible and compassionate support services, especially those with a focus on individual needs and safety protocols, would be well-positioned to compete in similar opportunities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those classified as VCSE (voluntary, community, and social enterprises), could find this type of contract beneficial for expanding their service offerings and enhancing their footprint in the public sector. The procurement provides a chance to demonstrate specialist capabilities in managing support within modular accommodation units.

Notice Title

Provision of Support within Homelessness Accommodation (Pool)

Notice Description

This project focuses on delivering trauma informed support within homelessness accommodation, designed to address the underlying causes of homelessness and promote recovery and resilience. The property comprises ten self contained modular units on the outskirts of Pool. Given the scale of the service, staffing is estimated to include 1.7 FTE support worker, along with a proportion of line management cover, and an estimated additional 0.3 FTE support worker to provide cover during leave or training, in line with industry standards. Staffing levels will prioritise psychological and physical safety, with robust lone working protocols and safeguards in place to protect both residents and staff. Support hours will be scheduled flexibly to respond to individual needs, ensuring residents receive timely and compassionate support. It is not anticipated that overnight support or concierge services will be required, as the model is designed to promote autonomy and stability within a safe environment.
