UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council commissioned a tenancy sustainment service for residents of Lichfield District. The work is social support delivered without accommodation: the stated purpose is to enhance residents’ ability to sustain their tenancies. The recorded service classification is social work services without accommodation (CPV 85312000). The council is the buyer, and delivery is in Staffordshire, England. The single lot covers the service as a whole. The selected provider is South East Staffordshire Citizens Advice Bureau, based in Burntwood. This requirement is focused on helping local residents maintain their tenancies, rather than providing accommodation or a general housing service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to South East Staffordshire Citizens Advice Bureau. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The award is recorded as active. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2030. Its value is £240,000 excluding VAT and £288,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the contract includes an agreed social value metric measured over a 12-month period. No award date or separate evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

For organisations that deliver tenancy support, this award is evidence of a sustained local requirement from Lichfield District Council for help that enables residents to maintain their tenancies. A credible provider would need the practical capability to support residents facing tenancy difficulties and to deliver a consistent, locally grounded service over a multi-year contract. Experience providing social work or related advice and support without accommodation would be relevant to the service described. The chosen provider is a Citizens Advice Bureau, indicating that an established advice-sector organisation can deliver this requirement; the award does not establish that this type of organisation is essential. The contract also includes a social value measure, so a future competitor should be able to demonstrate and report social value outcomes as part of service delivery.
