UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council commissioned support within homelessness accommodation at Cosgarne Hall. The service is intended for people experiencing homelessness and takes a trauma-informed approach, identifying and addressing the underlying causes of homelessness rather than focusing only on immediate accommodation. Its purpose is to help residents break cycles of homelessness and achieve sustainable, long-term housing outcomes. This is a specialist social care and supported accommodation service, classified as social work services with accommodation. Delivery is in Cornwall, at Cosgarne Hall in St Austell. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations providing homelessness support, accommodation-based support, trauma-informed practice and pathways into stable housing, particularly those operating in Cornwall or able to deliver services there.

This procurement has been completed and awarded by Cornwall Council. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, under the light-touch regime. The selected supplier is Cosgarne Hall Limited, an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise. The contract is active and is valued at £311,202 gross. Its contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 31 March 2006. The procurement was evaluated through a direct award rather than a competitive tender, and the award covers the complete requirement as one lot. The awarded service category is services, specifically social work services with accommodation. The award relates to support delivered within homelessness accommodation at Cosgarne Hall.

This award demonstrates established demand from Cornwall Council for accommodation-based homelessness support with a strong focus on trauma-informed practice and sustainable housing outcomes. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would need practical experience supporting people affected by homelessness, operating or working within accommodation settings, and addressing complex underlying causes rather than providing housing alone. Credibility would also depend on the ability to develop individual support towards stable, long-term housing and to work consistently with a public-sector commissioner. Organisations with an existing local presence, suitable accommodation partnerships and experience delivering social work or supported housing services in Cornwall would be particularly well positioned. The successful supplier’s SME and VCSE status also indicates that this type of service can be delivered by a smaller specialist or community-focused organisation.
