UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council intends to procure accommodation-based Housing Support and Assessment Services at Cosgarne Hall, Cornwall. The service is for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. It will provide accommodation, support and assessment, helping service users develop independent living skills, access suitable housing, and improve their health, wellbeing and social outcomes. The work will support the Council’s statutory homelessness duties and its wider aims for homelessness prevention, recovery, resilience and sustainable independent living. This is a social care and supported accommodation service, combining housing support with assessment and practical assistance for people who need help to move towards independent living.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Cornwall Council has announced an intention to procure, rather than invited tenders. The Council anticipates a direct award under the Procurement Act 2023, the Procurement Regulations 2024 and its Contract Procedure Rules, subject to approvals and governance. The planned contract is expected to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with renewal potential extending the maximum period to 31 March 2035. Its estimated value is £2,576,000 excluding VAT and £3,091,200 including VAT. The Council expects the next notice to be published by 24 November 2026. The procurement is above threshold and uses the light-touch regime.

The work is likely to suit organisations experienced in homelessness services, supported housing, social care or accommodation-based support, particularly providers able to combine practical housing assistance with structured assessment. Relevant capability includes helping people develop independent living skills, secure appropriate housing and improve health, wellbeing and social outcomes. Suppliers should be prepared to support the Council’s prevention, recovery and resilience objectives and its statutory homelessness responsibilities. The planned service is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Organisations with an established local delivery model, suitable accommodation-support expertise and the capacity to provide consistent, outcomes-focused support would be well placed to assess the requirement and prepare for future engagement.
