Summary of the contracting process

Eastbourne Borough Council procured accommodation and support services for people sleeping rough in Eastbourne through its Rough Sleeping Initiative. The requirement was for a provider, or providers, to supply at least 10 units of ‘Off The Street Accommodation’ on a pre-paid block-booking basis. The service also covers housing management staff sufficient to meet demand from the local rough sleeping population, together with property maintenance, cleaning and management of voids. This is a social work service with accommodation, delivered in Eastbourne. The council works alongside its rough sleeping initiative multi-disciplinary team, outreach services and Housing First teams, with the wider purpose of helping rough sleepers access appropriate support and services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an above-threshold open procedure under the light-touch regime. One bid was received and one supplier was selected: Investco Properties Limited. The award date was 17 September 2026. The awarded value is £594,958 excluding VAT and £713,949.50 including VAT. The estimated tender value was £595,000 excluding VAT and £714,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. Evaluation was based entirely on quality: understanding of the brief and contract management 45%, risk management 30%, proposed team 10%, relevant experience and case study 10%, and social value 5%. The award was for a single lot.

This award demonstrates demand from Eastbourne Borough Council for a managed accommodation service supporting rough sleepers, combining housing provision with practical building and tenancy operations. A credible future competitor would need access to at least 10 suitable accommodation units and the capacity to provide a housing management team responsive to local demand. Operational capability should include planned and reactive maintenance, cleaning and efficient management of empty units, alongside experience of working with rough sleepers and partner services such as outreach, Housing First and multi-disciplinary teams. The evaluation places greatest emphasis on understanding the brief and contract management, followed by risk management, so suppliers should be able to evidence robust delivery controls, safeguarding-aware practice, relevant case studies, a capable team and clear social value outcomes.
