UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is commissioning The Lodges, a 57-bed accommodation project across two sites, jointly commissioned with the City of Westminster on a 50/50 basis. The service provides bed-and-breakfast-style safe accommodation and communal living for older and/or more entrenched rough sleepers. It is mixed gender, with most residents expected to be over 40. The service supports people with needs associated with entrenched lifestyles, including physical health, mental health and alcohol-related needs. Residents can receive support where they want or need it, without an obligation to engage. The project does not exclude people based on their needs, although substance use is not permitted on the premises. The procurement is for health and social work services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to St Mungo Community Housing Association on 1 January 2026. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The award covers one lot and the service contract runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2028, with two optional 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum end date of 31 March 2030. The contract value is £805,602 excluding VAT and £966,722.40 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 January 2026 and is active. The selected supplier is St Mungo Community Housing Association, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise organisation. No competitive evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award.

This requirement demonstrates demand for specialist supported accommodation for older and entrenched rough sleepers, delivered through a communal, mixed-gender model rather than generic supported housing. A credible future competitor would need experience operating safe accommodation and supporting people with complex, entrenched needs, including physical health, mental health and alcohol-related needs. The service model requires staff who can offer support without making engagement compulsory, while maintaining a clear prohibition on substance use on the premises. Relevant organisations should be able to manage accommodation across two sites, work within a joint commissioning arrangement, and provide consistent support to residents with varied needs, including people who have developed independent living skills through street experience.
