Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council is planning to procure Housing Support and Assessment Services at Chi Winder. The service will provide accommodation-based support and assessment for people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. Its purpose is to help service users progress towards sustainable independent living, improve wellbeing and achieve positive housing outcomes. The contract will support Cornwall Council’s statutory homelessness duties and wider housing and prevention objectives. This is a social care and supported accommodation service, covering social work with accommodation, social work and related services, and wider health and social work services. Delivery is in Cornwall. The planned procurement is structured as one service lot.

The process is at the planning stage: Cornwall Council has stated an intention to procure, but this is not an invitation to tender. The Council expects to use a direct award under the light-touch regime and the Procurement Act 2023 and Procurement Regulations 2024, subject to legal, governance and approval requirements. The estimated value is £2,376,000 excluding VAT, or £2,581,200 including VAT. The anticipated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with renewal provision extending the maximum period to 31 March 2035. The next notice is expected on 24 November 2026. The single planned lot is marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement is likely to suit organisations experienced in delivering supported accommodation and homelessness services, particularly those able to combine housing support with assessment and structured progression towards independent living. Relevant providers may include social care organisations, housing associations, specialist homelessness charities and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The work calls for capability in supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, assessing their needs, improving wellbeing and helping them achieve sustainable housing outcomes. Providers should be prepared to contribute to statutory homelessness duties and wider housing prevention objectives. Cornwall Council has identified the service as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist providers as well as larger organisations.
