UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council procured support services within homelessness accommodation at Commercial Road and Stoke House. The service is intended for people experiencing homelessness and takes a trauma-informed approach, identifying and addressing the underlying causes of homelessness rather than focusing only on immediate housing. Its purpose is to break cycles of homelessness and help residents achieve sustainable, long-term housing outcomes. This is a social work service delivered with accommodation, covering the council’s homelessness provision in Cornwall. The requirement is therefore relevant to housing associations, homelessness charities, supported accommodation providers and specialist social care organisations able to provide resident support alongside accommodation-based services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Livewest Homes Ltd. Cornwall Council used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £242,500 gross. The award covers one lot and is recorded as active, with the contract also active. The evaluation route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender, so no competitive award criteria are recorded. The contract concerns social work services with accommodation and applies to support at both Commercial Road and Stoke House.

This requirement indicates demand for accommodation-based homelessness support that combines practical housing assistance with trauma-informed work. A credible future supplier would need to support people with complex or persistent barriers to housing, identify root causes, and work towards stable long-term outcomes rather than short-term placement alone. Relevant capability is likely to include experience in homelessness services, supported accommodation and social work, with staff able to build trusted relationships and coordinate housing-related support. Housing associations, specialist homelessness providers, charities and social care organisations with suitable accommodation-based operating capacity would be well placed. Experience delivering outcomes across more than one accommodation setting would also be commercially relevant to this buyer.
