UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council procured a rough sleeper outreach and street support service. The work is intended to identify, engage and support people who are sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping. It includes street-based outreach, engagement with individuals, support to move into accommodation, and wider support services aimed at preventing and reducing homelessness. This is a social work service delivered without accommodation, covering activity in the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within the council’s homelessness and housing support responsibilities and is relevant to organisations providing specialist outreach, resettlement and support services for people experiencing, or at risk of, rough sleeping.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Rochdale Borough Council used a below-threshold direct award without competition under the light-touch regime. The single lot was awarded to The Sanctuary Trust Limited, a voluntary, community and social enterprise based in Rochdale. The contract was signed and started on 1 July 2026 and runs to 30 September 2026. Its value is £65,587.07 including tax. The award is active and the contract is active. The published information identifies social work services without accommodation as the principal classification. The process involved one completed lot and was not evaluated through a competitive tender, so no comparative award criteria are stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Rochdale Borough Council for a focused service combining street outreach, relationship-building, homelessness prevention, accommodation access and ongoing support. A credible future provider would need staff able to work directly with people sleeping rough or facing homelessness, engage individuals who may be hard to reach, assess needs and sustain contact in community settings. It would also need practical knowledge of routes into accommodation and the local support network, with the capacity to coordinate services around individual clients. The selected supplier is an SME and a voluntary, community and social enterprise, indicating that mission-led organisations with specialist homelessness experience may be well placed for this requirement.
