UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council commissioned housing-first support services to help people experiencing homelessness move into accommodation. The work is a social support service, classified under health and social work and community services. It is delivered in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council area. The service focuses on supporting people into housing rather than supplying accommodation or carrying out building work. The council is the buyer, and St Mungo’s was selected to provide the service. This requirement is relevant to organisations delivering homelessness support, housing-related assistance or community-based social services in the local area, particularly providers able to work directly with people who need support to secure and sustain accommodation.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. St Mungo’s was awarded the contract. It was signed on 25 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 November 2027. The contract value is £424,017 including VAT. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering housing-first support services. The stated purpose is to support homeless people into accommodation; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded. The award is for services delivered within the council’s area. The contract period and value describe this single agreement and are not divided between suppliers or lots.

For organisations that did not win, this award shows that Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council buys housing-first support to help homeless people access accommodation, using a direct award below threshold rather than a competitive procedure for this procurement. A credible provider for a similar requirement would need demonstrable capacity to deliver person-centred homelessness support and help clients move into housing across the council area. Experience in housing-related support and community or social services would be directly relevant to the service’s purpose. St Mungo’s, a large voluntary, community or social enterprise, was selected, indicating that a substantial specialist provider in the homelessness sector can meet the buyer’s needs. Suppliers assessing comparable work should consider whether they can sustain local service delivery at this scale and demonstrate relevant experience with people facing homelessness.
