Summary of the contracting process

Nottinghamshire County Council is procuring a framework for integrated, community-based specialist support for people experiencing severe multiple disadvantage, including homeless people and rough sleepers. The service covers housing support, mental health, physical health, employment and financial inclusion, combining practical assistance with resettlement and prevention of rough sleeping. This is a health and social work service (CPV 85000000). Delivery is across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The framework may also be used by current or future local authorities in those counties, successor local authorities following local government reorganisation, and the East Midlands County Combined Authority. It is therefore suited to organisations able to provide coordinated support across several areas and work with people whose housing, health, employment and financial needs are interconnected.

The procurement is complete and the specialist support framework has been awarded through a direct award following a previous competitive procedure. Four suppliers were selected: Framework Housing Association, Citizens Advice Mid Mercia, Nottingham Community Housing Association Limited, and People Potential Possibilities. The award is valued at £250,000,000 excluding VAT and £300,000,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 June 2034, with the award dated 26 June 2026. A scheduled signature milestone is due on 1 October 2026, and the standstill period ends on 7 September 2026. The arrangement is an open framework under the light-touch regime, with suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is above the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates substantial, long-term public demand for specialist support for people facing severe multiple disadvantage across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Suppliers best placed for a future opportunity will be able to deliver community-based housing and homelessness support while coordinating effectively with mental health, physical health, employment and financial inclusion services. Credible providers are likely to need strong referral, safeguarding, case-management and partnership arrangements, together with the operational capacity to work across more than one local authority area. The successful supplier group shows that both large housing and support organisations and smaller or specialist advice-led providers can contribute to this requirement. Experience of supporting rough sleepers and people with complex, overlapping needs will be central to competing when the requirement next reaches the market.

Procurement Information

The Rough Sleeping Prevention and Resettlement-D2N1 framework (Procurement Identifier-ocds-h6vhtk-05a7be) was procured following a competetive procedure. Relevant notices (UK2, UK4) in relation to the tender and Award notices (UK6 & UK7) were published in relation to the award of Lots 1&2 but, due to an error in the publication of the UK6, Lot 3 was omitted from the notice. The Cabinet Office (Ticket 0026384), advice was as follows: "You can publish a UK5 Transparency Notice to create a new framework, which can then be referred to as "Lot 3". This can subsequently be progressed using the UK6 and UK7 notices. Please note that this will not form part of the existing framework and will instead stand alone. This is because Lot 3 was cancelled within the current framework via the UK6." This UK5 Transparancy notice is published in accordance with the above advice.
