## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of a public procurement process for a project titled "Homeless Support Market Engagement". This initiative, which falls under the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" (CPV: 98000000), aims to explore future options for delivering homelessness support services. The project's engagement phase began on 24 January 2025, with an engagement end date set for 24 February 2025. The procurement involves gathering input from providers of social and affordable housing, as well as housing-related support services for people who are homeless, to determine market interest and potential costs. The key location for the delivery is in England, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social and affordable housing or housing-related support services. It is particularly well-suited for registered providers and organisations seeking to expand their services to support homeless individuals. The tender is open to SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), offering a platform for these businesses to collaborate with Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council on addressing homelessness. By participating in this market engagement process, businesses can influence the structure and terms of the upcoming contracts that will commence after the current ones end in June 2027.

## Notice

Cheshire West and Chester Council has a contract in place for the delivery of Homelessness Support Services, alongside two other housing-related contracts. These contracts end in June 2027, and we are exploring options for the future. We would like to engage with Registered Providers of social and affordable housing for people who are homeless and providers of housing-related support services for people who are homeless to get an understanding of the market - is there an appetite to deliver a similar contract; should there be separate contracts; and what would the potential costs be.
