UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council is seeking an accommodation-based support service for people experiencing homelessness who have multiple and complex needs. The work combines social support with the provision of accommodation, rather than being a general housing supply contract. The service is to be delivered in Oxford. It is a social services procurement intended for people requiring support alongside accommodation; suppliers should assess their ability to deliver both elements as an integrated service.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 20 November 2026 at 5pm, and the submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at noon. The council planned to complete its award decision by 18 January 2027. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend through three separate 12-month periods, up to 31 March 2032. The stated overall value is £2,000,000 including VAT (£1,666,666.67 excluding VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation assigns 70% to quality and 30% to price.

This opportunity is best suited to providers able to secure or manage accommodation and deliver consistent support to people facing homelessness alongside multiple and complex needs. Bidders will need to show a strong quality-led service model, with the capacity to combine accommodation provision and social support for this client group. The evaluation weighting places greater emphasis on quality than price, so relevant service delivery experience, credible support approaches and the ability to sustain delivery across the contract period are commercially important. The contract may suit established homelessness and supported-accommodation providers, as well as partnerships that bring together housing and specialist support capabilities. The requirement is a single, substantial service rather than separate specialist lots.
