Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned homelessness prevention pathway services at Henrietta Street. This is a health and social care service intended to support the council’s homelessness prevention pathway. The contract’s delivery location is in Bath and North East Somerset, within the wider Bath area. The requirement is focused on services at a named location rather than a broad supply of goods or construction work. The council is the buyer, and The Alongside Charity was selected to provide the service. The procurement is classified as health and social work services. This requirement is relevant to organisations delivering homelessness support and related pathway services, particularly those able to operate locally and work with people at risk of homelessness.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bath & North East Somerset Council awarded the single lot directly to The Alongside Charity, without competition, using a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 June 2028. Its value is £110,152.77. The award is recorded as active; no separate evaluation criteria are provided. As this was a direct award, suppliers were not selected through a competitive bid evaluation. The arrangement is for one service requirement at Henrietta Street, rather than a multi-lot competition. The contract covers a defined service period, with the named charity responsible for delivery.

For organisations preparing to compete for a comparable requirement in Bath & North East Somerset, this award demonstrates local demand for homelessness prevention pathway provision at a specific site. Credible suppliers would need practical experience delivering homelessness support and the ability to work within a local pathway, coordinating services around people at risk of homelessness. Familiarity with the needs and operating context of Bath would help a provider demonstrate that it can deliver locally. The buyer used a direct, below-threshold award rather than a competitive procedure on this occasion, so suppliers should understand that the route used may not offer an open competition. The selected provider is a charity, indicating that organisations with relevant social-purpose delivery experience may be well placed for this kind of service, while the requirement itself centres on service delivery rather than goods or works.
