UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured the FutureStrong Project, a social work and related support service for adults who need help to sustain accommodation, build independence and reduce reliance on crisis-driven or higher-cost services. The service provides practical tenancy-management support, guidance and mental-health-informed wellbeing support in a flexible, preventative way. It excludes personal care, clinical or therapeutic interventions and other regulated activities; assessed care or clinical needs are commissioned separately from appropriately regulated providers. The work is delivered for North Somerset Council in the North Somerset area. This is relevant to organisations providing tenancy sustainment, housing-related support, adult independence services and wellbeing support, particularly where they can work without delivering regulated care or clinical treatment.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Somerset Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 17 June 2024 and runs from 16 June 2025 to 15 June 2028. THE FUTURESTRONG PARTNERSHIP CIC was selected as the supplier for the completed lot. The contract value is £247,500 excluding VAT and £297,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The selected supplier is a small voluntary, community or social enterprise, and the award covers the full FutureStrong Project service described above.

For a supplier seeking comparable work, this award demonstrates demand from North Somerset Council for preventative, tenancy-focused adult support delivered outside regulated care and clinical services. A credible competitor would need practical expertise in tenancy management, accommodation sustainment and helping adults develop independence, alongside the ability to provide guidance and mental-health-informed wellbeing support. The service model calls for flexible delivery that can prevent escalation into crisis or more expensive services, so experience of early intervention, risk-aware support and coordinated working around separately commissioned care or clinical needs would be relevant. Community-interest, voluntary-sector and small specialist providers may be well placed where they can demonstrate safe, reliable service delivery and a clear boundary around non-regulated support.
