Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council commissioned supported accommodation for young people aged 18–25 who have support needs and are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. The service combines housing management with specialist, psychologically informed, person-centred support, including 24/7 support and management across 28 self-contained homes at three purpose-built sites. The Council owns the sites and leases them to the provider. Delivery is phased as the sites become ready. The accommodation is supported by a separate revenue-funded contract for support services. The requirement covers accommodation leasing, housing and social work services. The homes are in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Stepping Stone Projects. The award date was 23 October 2026 and the awarded value is £1,108,081.24. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with an option to extend by up to 24 months. The procurement used a competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime. Six bids were received; four reached the final stage. Evaluation had two phases: written submissions shortlisted up to three bidders for interview and presentation, with award based on phase two scores only. The published criteria weighted quality at 55%, qualitative social value at 10%, quantitative social value at 10%, and price at 25%.

For suppliers of supported housing and youth homelessness services, this award shows the council buys a combined accommodation and intensive support model, rather than housing alone. A credible competitor would need suitable homes or the ability to lease and manage council-owned accommodation, alongside the operational capacity to provide round-the-clock support to young adults with varied support needs. Delivery across multiple sites calls for mobilisation that can scale with phased handovers. The council accepted delivery by a single organisation or a partnership, including arrangements between a registered provider, charity, community interest company, specialist housing provider or support provider. Strong evidence of relevant experience, financial standing, governance and safe, high-quality housing and support would be important. The assessment gave most weight to quality, with separate consideration of social value and price.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Rochdale Team Around the Young Person Accommodation Model (TAYPAS)

Notice Description

Rochdale Borough Council is seeking to commission a Young People's Supported Accommodation Service based on the Team Around the Young Person (TAYPAS) model using a Competitive Flexible Procedure via Light Touch Regime as per Procurement Act 2023. The service will deliver specialist, psychologically informed supported accommodation for young people aged 18-25 with support needs who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. The provision will deliver 24/7 support and management across our newly developed, purpose-built accommodation of 28 x self-contained units of accommodation. All three sites are council-owned assets, which will remain in Council ownership and be leased to the successful provider. To maximise competition and encourage a broad range of high-quality bids, the accommodation will be leased. This can be a Registered Provider (RP), a charitable organisation, community interest company, specialist housing provider, or another suitably experienced organisation. Bids may be submitted by a single organisation or through a partnership arrangement, including but not limited to an RP working alongside a support provider or other relevant delivery partner. The accommodation provision relates to three separate sites, which are expected to become operational on a phased basis as units achieve practical completion at different times. Bidders should therefore demonstrate their ability to mobilise and scale services in line with the phased handover programme, ensuring accommodation and support are available as each site becomes operational. The accommodation provision will be supported through a separate revenue-funded support contract, ensuring the effective and sustainable delivery of both housing management and person-centred support services. Bidders must demonstrate appropriate experience, financial standing, operational capacity, and governance arrangements to deliver the required accommodation and support outcomes, either directly or through established partnership arrangements. This flexible delivery approach is intended to maximise competition, innovation, and value for money within the market, and compliant landlords, whilst ensuring residents are provided with safe, high-quality accommodation and tailored support that enables positive outcomes and greater independence.
