Summary of the contracting process

The Borough of Telford & Wrekin commissioned older people’s support services for an individual needing a placement in independent living accommodation. The service combines suitable accommodation, emergency on-site support, coordination with the on-site care provider, and ongoing accommodation maintenance. The placement is intended to meet the individual’s wishes and allow them to live in the least restrictive way. Location is a key part of the requirement, and delivery is in Telford and Wrekin, Shropshire. This is a social care and related support service, rather than a general accommodation contract: the provider must make the housing and on-site care arrangements work together around an individual placement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Future Housing Solutions. The award date was 23 October 2026, with an award value of £240,000. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2034. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition, using the light-touch regime. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The contract operates on rolling terms and continues until all individual placements made under it have ended. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active award; no separate contract-signing date is stated. The award was for social work and related services, with the delivery location in Telford and Wrekin.

For suppliers competing for similar individual placements for the Borough of Telford & Wrekin, credibility rests on being able to provide suitable independent-living accommodation in a location that meets the individual’s wishes, alongside emergency on-site support and reliable coordination with a separate care provider. The awarded model also requires ongoing property maintenance and continuity while an individual placement remains in place. Providers need to show that their accommodation and support arrangements can work cohesively with care delivered on site, and that they can sustain a tailored service rather than offer accommodation alone. The single-lot award indicates that the buyer procured these linked elements together. This example also shows the buyer used a direct award without competition for a below-threshold, light-touch social care service.
