UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Manchester City Council commissioned support and safe accommodation services for victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse, focused on people and households with marginalised or intersecting needs. The service provides first-stage advice alongside accommodation and support that is inclusive, accessible and responsive to complex circumstances. It is intended for individuals and groups who may not be suited to traditional safe-accommodation models or whose needs do not fit a typical service-user profile. Providers must deliver a tailored approach rather than a standard model, taking account of overlapping disadvantages and the specific circumstances of each household. The work is classified as housing services and is delivered for Manchester City Council in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 28 August 2026 to CENTENNIAL PROPERTY LIMITED. It was a competitive award under a framework, using a selective procedure. The award covers one lot and has a value of £1,113,525 excluding VAT, or £1,336,230 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend for an additional two years to a maximum end date of 31 March 2030. The award is active, and the scheduled contract signature date is 21 September 2026. The successful supplier is a large organisation based in Luton. The opportunity was above the relevant threshold.

This award shows sustained demand from Manchester City Council for specialist domestic-abuse safe accommodation linked to support and advice. A credible future provider would need to operate accommodation alongside support for victims and survivors, including people whose needs are shaped by marginalisation and several overlapping disadvantages. The service model requires more than a standard refuge or accommodation offer: capability should include individualised assessment, flexible support planning, accessibility and an ability to respond to complex household circumstances. Relevant organisations are likely to include established housing and support providers with the operational capacity to manage accommodation, safeguarding and tailored services at a substantial scale. Experience of inclusive domestic-abuse provision and framework contracting would strengthen a future offer.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Domestic Abuse - Intersecting Needs Safe Accommodation

Notice Description

This project is the recommissioning of support and accommodation services within the scope of the Domestic Violence and Abuse Safe Accommodation Grant, which aims to provide first stage advice to support victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse. The purpose of this provision is to offer accommodation for individuals and groups who may be marginalised and facing multiple, intersecting disadvantages, in addition to their experiences of domestic violence and abuse. Many of those accessing this accommodation may not be suited to traditional models of safe accommodation with support, as they do not align with the typical profile of victims and survivors of domestic violence and abuse. Marginalisation can take many forms and often involves a range of complex and overlapping needs. Therefore, it is essential that support within this provision is tailored to the specific circumstances of each household, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, this service specification outlines the provision of safe accommodation with support, which is inclusive, accessible, and responsive to the complex realities of people's lives. It forms a key part of the contractual framework for any provider commissioned to deliver this service.
