Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council procured specialist accommodation-based services for domestic and sexual violence and abuse support. The requirement covers Amber House Refuge, children’s accommodation and dispersed accommodation support in Nottingham. It is a health and social work services contract, intended to provide supported accommodation and related assistance for people affected by domestic or sexual violence and abuse. The council is the buyer and the service location is Nottingham. The selected supplier, Nottingham Central Womens Aid, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Nottingham. The requirement was called off from Lot 5 of the council’s Domestic and Sexual Violence and Abuse and Violence Against Women and Girls services framework, indicating a specialist supported-accommodation service rather than general housing provision.

The procurement is complete. It used a limited call-off procedure without prior publication of a competition, under the existing specialist services framework. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, but an active award and active contract are recorded against it. Nottingham Central Womens Aid was selected as supplier. The contract value is £874,729, excluding any different tax treatment not stated in the procurement, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. The award was evaluated on price. One bid was recorded for the lot. The procurement rationale states that it was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and that it would not link to the existing framework notice reference.

This outcome demonstrates a defined local demand for specialist refuge, children’s accommodation and dispersed accommodation support for people affected by domestic and sexual violence and abuse. A credible future competitor would need to deliver safe accommodation-based services in Nottingham, support children as well as adults, and manage both refuge and dispersed placements. Relevant capability is likely to include safeguarding, risk assessment, trauma-informed support, housing management and coordinated work with statutory and specialist agencies. The successful supplier’s profile shows that an SME can provide this requirement, so delivery scale is compatible with an established specialist voluntary-sector provider rather than only a national housing or care organisation. The procurement was awarded through a framework call-off and evaluated on price, making framework access and competitive cost control commercially important.
