UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council is planning a supported accommodation service at Trevone House in Gloucestershire. The procurement is intended to provide accommodation and associated support for people who require a supported living environment, combining elements of education and training with health and social work services. The council is seeking to understand how the market could deliver the future service, including the capability and capacity available from potential providers and any practical limitations that could affect provision. This is a service contract rather than a construction or goods supply requirement. Organisations working in supported accommodation, care, social support, education, training or related specialist services may therefore find the proposed requirement relevant when it reaches the market.

The process is at the planning stage and the council has not issued an invitation to tender. It is conducting preliminary market engagement through a questionnaire, with responses expected by 9.00 on 31 August 2026; this engagement is expressly not a call for competition. The council expects the future contract to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with a possible extension to 31 March 2032. The procurement is planned under the light-touch regime and is above the relevant threshold. It comprises one lot, covering the Trevone House service, and the lot is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The planning record identifies a renewal option but does not set out an expected procurement method or contract value.

This early engagement is most relevant to providers with experience of supported accommodation and the delivery of joined-up education, training, health or social work services. Businesses should be able to demonstrate that they understand the needs of people using supported accommodation and can organise safe, reliable and appropriately staffed provision. The council is specifically testing market capability, available capacity and limitations, so providers with an established operating model, suitable premises or service infrastructure, and experience managing complex support arrangements will be well placed to contribute. Smaller organisations may be suitable because the proposed lot is identified as SME-friendly. Suppliers can use the engagement stage to explain their delivery models, constraints and requirements before the future competition is designed.
