Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the "Single Homeless Pathway & Families Pathway" project. This initiative aims to provide supported services for rough sleepers and create accommodation for homeless families and single individuals. The estimated total contract value is £8,535,000 (excluding VAT) and is classified under Health and Social Work Services. The project is planned to commence on 1st November 2027 and will run for five years, potentially extending to 2034. The procurement process will follow an open procedure, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), according to the procurement method details specified. Key dates include the publication of a future notice on 1st July 2027. The whole life value of the contract, inclusive of potential extensions, is £10,242,000.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services to engage in a long-term government contract with the potential for substantial growth. Companies experienced in outreach, housing accommodations, and providing services to homeless and vulnerable populations should find this procurement particularly relevant. The procurement is tailor-made for SMEs aiming to expand their footprint in the public sector through a high-value contract, offering a stable revenue stream over multiple years. Given the scale and duration of the contract, participating businesses could potentially contribute to key social objectives and benefit from extended collaboration with the Isle of Wight Council.
