UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council procured non-regulated supported accommodation services for care-experienced young people aged 18 to 24 and homeless 16- and 17-year-olds who are not cared for and have no care-experienced status. The service falls within social work services with accommodation and is delivered in the Torbay area. The requirement covers accommodation alongside support for two distinct groups of young people with housing and welfare needs. It is a council-led service, with delivery involving accommodation provision and associated support rather than construction or the supply of goods. The successful provider is a large housing organisation, indicating a requirement suited to businesses able to operate suitable properties and support arrangements for vulnerable young people within Torbay.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to LiveWest Homes Limited. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The award was made on 31 March 2026. The contract is valued at £225,000 gross and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 December 2026, with a maximum extension date of 31 March 2027. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and is active. It includes one possible three-month extension valued at £75,000, and renewal is permitted. Options allow changes to the service model, performance indicators or outcomes, increases or reductions in block-contracted units, and an additional property where the authority approves its suitability. The award covers the full accommodation service requirement.

For a future requirement from Torbay Council, credible suppliers would need to combine suitable accommodation with effective support for vulnerable young people aged 16 to 24. Relevant capability includes access to safe, appropriate properties in Torbay; the operational capacity to provide or manage block-contracted accommodation units; and staff and systems able to support both care-experienced young adults and homeless teenagers with different circumstances. Providers should be able to work within a defined performance-management system, demonstrate measurable service outcomes and adapt the service model when required. The successful supplier is a large housing organisation, so housing-provider experience, property-management capacity and the ability to bring additional suitable properties into an agreed service would strengthen a competing proposition. Social work or supported-housing delivery experience is directly relevant.
