## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Dorking House Supported Accommodation in Corby, as part of its rough sleeping pathway initiative. The procurement process, executed using an open procedure, sought a service provider to manage and rebrand a supported housing scheme composed of three Council-owned properties with nine bed spaces. The contract, valued at £902,562, runs from 1st June 2024 to 31st May 2027, with the possibility of a 12-month extension contingent on further Government funding. The awarded contract was published on 26th July 2024, with Encompass named as the successful supplier, responsible for delivering the service under the classification of health and social work services (CPV code 85000000) in the East Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in high-support housing management services, particularly those capable of catering to individuals with complex needs such as entrenched rough sleepers, those with drug or alcohol dependencies, and individuals with mental or physical health issues. Suitable candidates include SMEs and VCSEs with robust staffing capabilities to provide adequate support levels as required by the contract. By managing such a facility, businesses can expand their portfolio in the health and social work sector, while contributing to community welfare and positive outcomes for vulnerable populations in North Northamptonshire.

## Notice

North Northamptonshire Council's (hereafter referred to as the "Council") requirements for a service provider to wholly manage a Supported Housing Scheme in Corby called Dorking House which forms part of the Council's current rough sleeping pathway. The Council are looking to allocate total grant funding of PS902,562 to an organisation to provide a full housing management service for this supported accommodation facility. The intention is for Dorking House to be renamed/rebranded to reflect the new ethos of the new remodelled provision. Dorking House will provide supported accommodation suitable for those with the highest and most complex of needs. The successful provider will ensure appropriate support services are delivered for adults with history of rough sleeping, and who have high levels of support needs. Dorking House is made up of 3 Council owned Housing Revenue Account (HRA) properties, with a total of 9 bed spaces which have shared bathrooms and within one property there are 2 move-on flats which also has shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. Overall, the aim of the provision will be to effectively support residents with complex needs by providing a safe and secure environment to help transform people's lives by encouraging self-determination and independence to achieve positive outcomes. The Council is procuring a single provider to deliver the service for a maximum three-year period until 31st March 2027, with the option to extend for a further 12 months should further Government funding be secured. The cohort being supported within this provision will include individuals with high complex support needs, and presenting risks, and therefore the provision will need to be adequately staffed to provide this level of support as required. The following is not an exhaustive list but provides examples of the cohort to be supported: * Entrenched rough sleepers * Individuals with a drug / alcohol dependence * Individuals experiencing mental ill health * Individuals with physical disabilities * Ex-offenders or individuals at risk of offending * Individuals who are classed as too high a risk to be managed in other provisions within the rough sleeper pathway The light touch regime (LTR) applies to the Services, as per Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
