Summary of the contracting process

Ashfield District Council commissioned a countywide rough-sleeping outreach and coordination service through the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Resettlement Framework. The service is for people sleeping rough, people who have slept rough previously, and those at risk of homelessness, including people in unsafe or insecure circumstances. It is a social work and related support service, procured on the council’s behalf by Nottinghamshire County Council. Delivery covers Ashfield and Nottinghamshire. The work focuses on outreach and coordination to support people facing rough sleeping and homelessness.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. Framework Housing Association was selected under Lot 2 of the Rough Sleeping Prevention and Resettlement Framework, through a selective, below-threshold framework award. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an option for one 12-month renewal, extending the possible end date to 31 March 2029. The contract value is £1,967,280 excluding VAT (£2,360,736 including VAT). The published process data does not state award criteria or separate evaluation weightings.

For a future requirement from Ashfield District Council, credible providers would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver countywide rough-sleeping outreach and coordinate support for people sleeping rough, previously rough sleeping, or at risk of homelessness, including those in unsafe or insecure situations. The award shows demand for a substantial, sustained service rather than a small, single-site intervention, and that the council has used a framework route to appoint a provider. Relevant experience in social work or related homelessness support, effective coordination across the service area, and the organisational capacity to maintain delivery over an extended contract would be commercially relevant. The selected provider is a large voluntary and community-sector organisation, indicating that this type of service can be delivered by a sizeable specialist provider.
