UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council intends to procure accommodation-based housing-related support for single people. This is a social care service intended to provide support alongside accommodation; the planned procurement does not explain the service model or the specific support activities. The work is associated with Leicester, and the Council is the buyer. It is classified as a service rather than goods or works, within health and social work services. The notice describes a single planned lot and indicates that small and medium-sized businesses may be suited to it. The Council’s stated aim is to find a supplier to deliver the service. This is an early-stage procurement forecast, not an invitation to tender, and it does not commit the Council to proceeding with a contract.

The process is at planning stage: the Council has announced its intention to procure, but has not invited bids. It expects to publish a further notice on 10 November 2026, an indicative date that is not a response deadline. The estimated contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with a possible extension to 30 March 2034. The estimated value is £4,325,000 excluding VAT (£5,190,000 including VAT). The procurement is planned as one lot under the light-touch regime for social services. The Council says the forecast may change and does not guarantee that a tender will follow. It has not set out the expected procurement procedure, selection requirements or evaluation basis at this stage.

The planned service may suit providers of supported accommodation and housing-related support for single people, including small and medium-sized organisations. Suppliers preparing for a possible future competition should consider whether they can combine accommodation provision with appropriate support for residents over a sustained, multi-year service. The Council has not yet described the support model, service standards, staffing requirements, required accreditations or experience it will seek, so no particular specialist capability or qualification can yet be treated as a stated condition. The Council’s stated interest is in finding a supplier for the service; any further expectations would need to be established if a tender is subsequently issued. This forecast can help relevant providers monitor the prospective procurement and assess their readiness, but there is no invitation to compete at this stage.
