Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool Borough Council commissioned a single, integrated supported housing service for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have medium to high-level support needs. The service combines accommodation-based provision with dispersed supported housing, creating a coordinated pathway of support across Hartlepool. This is a health and social work service, covering both the accommodation and the support needed by service users. The work is delivered across the Hartlepool borough. It is suited to housing associations, supported accommodation providers, homelessness charities and social care organisations able to manage multiple accommodation settings and provide structured support for people with complex needs. The council is the public authority buying the service and Home Group Limited was selected as supplier.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Home Group Limited on 15 September 2026. It used an above-threshold open procedure. The award value is £1.75 million gross. The awarded contract runs from 17 January 2027 to 16 January 2030, with the possibility of renewal through two 12-month extensions, subject to satisfactory performance and continued council funding. The tender closing deadline was 10 August 2026 at 2pm, with enquiries closing on 7 August 2026 at 2pm; the award decision was due by 24 August 2026. There was one lot. Evaluation was based entirely on quality, including a 10% social value element. Five bids reached the final stage, including five from SMEs and one from a voluntary, community or social enterprise.

This award indicates demand for providers that can deliver homelessness and prevention services for people with medium to high support needs through a joined-up housing and support model. A credible competitor would need experience of managing supported accommodation alongside dispersed properties, coordinating placements and move-on pathways, and maintaining consistent service delivery across a borough-wide provision. It would also need the operational capacity to support people with complex needs, manage housing-related risks and work effectively with the council and other local services. The evaluation shows that quality was decisive and that social value formed part of the quality assessment, so future competitors should be able to evidence measurable community benefits as well as robust support methods, safeguarding, staffing and performance management. The field included SMEs and a VCSE, indicating that these capabilities are not limited to large housing groups.
