Summary of the contracting process

Bolsover District Council commissioned a homeless prevention support package for residents in the Bolsover District area, together with a court desk presence for residents who need assistance. This is a public-sector legal support service, covering legal advice, information, advisory work and representation (CPV 79110000 and 79140000). The work is delivered for people living in the Bolsover District area, with the court-based element requiring a presence in court. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is a single service covering both homelessness prevention support and court-based assistance, rather than separate goods or construction works. It is therefore relevant to legal advice providers, housing and homelessness support organisations, and community-facing organisations able to provide qualified representation and advice.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bolsover District Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Derbyshire Law Centre Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026, runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, and has a gross value of £40,275. The contracting process records the award as active and the contract as active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The service covers legal advisory, information and representation work for the homeless prevention and court desk requirement. No separate awards or lot values are recorded.

This procurement shows a defined local demand for a combined homelessness prevention and court-support service. A credible future provider would need practical expertise in housing and homelessness law, the ability to give clear legal information and advice to residents, and the professional capacity to represent or support them in court. The service also calls for reliable, resident-facing delivery across the Bolsover District area, including a dependable court presence. Derbyshire Law Centre Ltd is identified as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, indicating that organisations with a community-support model can be well placed for this type of requirement. Relevant competitors should be able to demonstrate accessible client support, legal capability and consistent operational cover.
