Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council commissioned support for people who are sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping, combining access to drug and alcohol treatment with housing-related services. The funding aims to reduce rough sleeping across the district and lower drug- and alcohol-related deaths. The service sits at the intersection of health, substance-use treatment and housing support, rather than being a purchase of goods or construction work. The contract was awarded to Anglia Care Trust, a supplier based in Ipswich. The work is for East Suffolk Council and concerns people in its district; the published delivery location is identified only as the United Kingdom. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers able to connect vulnerable people with treatment and housing support in a local-authority setting.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. East Suffolk Council awarded the single lot to Anglia Care Trust on 19 October 2026. The award value is £125,676 excluding VAT (£157,096 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. It was awarded below the applicable threshold through a selective route under a framework agreement, without a competitive call-off. The procurement category is services. The published information gives no separate scoring basis for the selection; the award outcome identifies Anglia Care Trust as the selected provider. The contract is focused on treatment access for people rough sleeping or at risk of rough sleeping, with the wider grant objectives of reducing rough sleeping and drug- and alcohol-related deaths in East Suffolk.

For suppliers considering similar work for East Suffolk Council, this award demonstrates demand for locally delivered support that links rough sleeping, housing services and drug and alcohol treatment. A credible provider would need to show it can reach people sleeping rough or at risk of doing so, support access to relevant treatment, and coordinate housing-related help around that population. The stated aims also point to the importance of contributing to reductions in rough sleeping and drug- and alcohol-related deaths. Anglia Care Trust, based in Ipswich, was selected for this requirement, showing that a local provider can deliver the service. The route was an award under a framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to deliver joined-up local support are commercially pertinent.
