UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council commissioned temporary accommodation services for individuals and families at risk of homelessness. The requirement covers housing services and social work services delivered with accommodation, supporting people who need somewhere to live while facing homelessness. The work is associated with Portsmouth and is managed by the council as the public-sector buyer. It is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and the requirement is grouped as a single service lot. The scope is relevant to housing providers, temporary accommodation operators, and organisations able to combine accommodation provision with appropriate support for vulnerable individuals and families. The selected supplier, Liberty Housing Solutions Ltd, is an SME specialising in housing solutions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold route described as a light-touch pseudo dynamic purchasing system; the recorded method detail is otherwise unknown. The single lot was awarded to Liberty Housing Solutions Ltd, with an active contract. The award date and contract signature date were 1 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 23 February 2029, with a gross value of £128,356. The award concerns housing and accommodation-based social work services for the temporary accommodation requirement. This outcome shows that the council used a specialist, light-touch purchasing route and selected one supplier for the full recorded lot.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is useful evidence of Portsmouth City Council’s demand for temporary accommodation for people and families at risk of homelessness. A credible future competitor would need access to suitable accommodation in or serving Portsmouth, the operational capacity to house individuals and families, and the ability to provide or coordinate accommodation-based social work support. Experience of housing services for vulnerable people would be commercially relevant, as would the systems needed to manage placements, occupancy, safeguarding, referrals and communication with the council. The award to an SME also indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused housing provider rather than only a large national contractor.
