Summary of the contracting process

Ashfield District Council appointed a single provider for short-term supported accommodation and related support services for single adults experiencing homelessness in the Ashfield district. The service combines safe, stable accommodation with personalised support and planned move-on pathways into longer-term housing. It helps the council meet its statutory homelessness duties. This is a social care and housing support service, classified under CPV 85300000, delivered in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire County Council managed the procurement on behalf of Ashfield District Council. The requirement was structured as one completed service lot and involved a single supplier, Framework Housing Association, a large voluntary, community and social enterprise operating from Nottingham.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Framework Housing Association was selected as the single supplier through a selective, below-threshold call-off under Lot 1 of the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Resettlement framework; the call-off was non-competitive. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028, with a possible one-time 12-month extension to 31 March 2029. Its value is £832,024.87 excluding VAT, or £998,429.84 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome records social work and related services for Ashfield District Council, with the full requirement awarded as a single lot.

This award indicates demand for providers able to combine accommodation management with practical, personalised support for single adults experiencing homelessness. A credible future competitor would need to show access to safe and stable housing in Ashfield, experience supporting people with homelessness-related needs, and the operational capacity to provide consistent short-term placements. Strong pathways into longer-term housing would be important, including assessment, support planning, tenancy-readiness work and effective coordination with councils and housing providers. Providers should also understand statutory homelessness duties and be able to demonstrate safeguarding, risk management, reliable staffing and outcome-focused casework. Experience delivering social work or related services, together with the ability to work within a framework call-off route, would strengthen their position when this type of requirement is next considered.
