Summary of the contracting process

Isle of Wight Council procured a supported accommodation service for vulnerable people. The service provides accommodation and housing-related support, with the aim of preventing deterioration and helping people maintain independent living. It is a health and social work service, delivered on the Isle of Wight. The requirement covers one lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Suppliers in scope are organisations able to combine accommodation provision or housing-related support with preventative support for vulnerable people. The work is commissioned by the Isle of Wight Council, a sub-central public authority, and forms part of its ongoing supported accommodation provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The contract was awarded on 3 September 2026 for £1,300,000 excluding VAT, or £1,560,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The direct award was used because the existing supported accommodation framework was due to end on 30 September 2026, allowing service delivery to continue while a new framework is procured and completed. The award is above the relevant threshold. The procurement used one lot. The selected award is recorded as pending, with contract signature scheduled for 1 October 2026. The stated evaluation basis is a direct-award decision rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement indicates established council demand for supported accommodation and housing-related support for vulnerable people on the Isle of Wight. A credible future provider would need to demonstrate access to suitable accommodation, the ability to deliver practical housing-related support, and experience providing preventative services that help people live independently. Operational capacity to support vulnerable residents consistently across the island would be important, alongside suitable safeguarding, care and support arrangements. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be well placed to compete when the council next tests this need. Experience of working within a public-sector framework or similar commissioned service would also strengthen credibility.
