UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council is seeking emergency accommodation with intensive, in-house support for single women fleeing domestic abuse. The service is for women whose needs make them unsuitable for other refuge accommodation, including those with complex mental health needs, substance misuse, learning difficulties, offending histories or long-standing trauma. This is a specialist accommodation and health and social work service, delivered in Swindon. The requirement brings together safe emergency housing and intensive support for a group of women who may need help addressing several complex and overlapping needs. It is a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described service lots.

The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 4 November 2026 at 14:00. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The estimated contract value is £173,000 excluding VAT (£207,600 including VAT). The requirement is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 80% on quality and 20% on price, with further evaluation detail in the tender documents. Bids could be submitted electronically through the council’s e-tendering portal; suppliers needed to register and register an interest to access editable tender documents and submit a response.

This opportunity is suited to providers able to deliver emergency accommodation alongside intensive, in-house support for women escaping domestic abuse. Relevant capability includes supporting people whose needs make standard refuge provision unsuitable, particularly women facing complex mental health difficulties, substance misuse, learning difficulties, offending or long-standing trauma. Providers should be equipped to manage these overlapping needs within an accommodation setting, with staff able to provide sustained and responsive support. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength and suitability of the service offer central to competition, alongside price. Housing, domestic abuse support and health or social care organisations with experience of complex-needs services may be well placed to demonstrate an appropriate model and delivery capacity.
