UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Norfolk County Council commissioned supported accommodation services for two people aged over 18 who are currently supported by UASC. The requirement is classified as health and social work services. It concerns accommodation-based support for a small number of residents rather than a broad property or construction programme. The buying organisation is Norfolk County Council, based in Norwich. The service is delivered within the geographical areas covered by the procurement, which span much of England. Businesses relevant to this requirement include supported housing providers and health or social care organisations able to accommodate and support adults with an existing connection to UASC services. The requirement is for services, not goods or works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was completed and awarded to PREFER HOMES LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 21 June 2026 and runs from 22 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £41,310 gross. The award covers the full requirement for supported accommodation for two adults. The published process does not set out a competitive evaluation model; the route used was a direct award without competition. The contract is active, and the tender itself has reached complete status. This is an awarded contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

For competitors, this procurement demonstrates a defined demand for small-scale supported accommodation linked to adults currently supported by UASC services. A credible provider would need to operate suitable accommodation and deliver reliable day-to-day support for two residents, with the organisational capacity to meet a council-funded health and social care requirement. Relevant experience in supported housing, adult support services and work connected with UASC provision would strengthen a future response. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national organisation. Providers should be able to combine accommodation management with appropriate support arrangements for a small resident group.
