The procurement focuses on social work services with accommodation, under the CPV classification 85311000. The interim contract, currently held by Framework Housing Association, will now be extended from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2027 to ensure continuity of service during ongoing accommodation sourcing and development delays. This tender, active as of 6 January 2026, lies within the tender stage of the procurement process, and businesses have until 7 January 2026, 08:00 am, to participate. The total estimated contract value is £1,045,170. This opportunity presents a substantial potential for businesses engaged in social work services, particularly those that support looked after children and care leavers. Organisations specialising in accommodation services or possessing the capability to swiftly respond to unplanned service demands in regional settings will find this tender suitable. The procurement encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs), creating avenues for business growth and service diversification in the public sector. ## Notice The Council's current contract for the provision of 16+ Supported Accommodation service operating in the Locality (as defined below) expired on 31 July 2022. The Council has awarded new contracts for the provision of 16+ Supported Accommodation service in the Locality which commenced on the 1 August 2022, but the Council was unable to award all contracts during the original procurement exercise and a second procurement exercise commenced in February 2022 and resulted in the award of contracts for all but one of the services. However, the acquisition or development of accommodation to fulfil the requirements of the specification will take some time and as a result an interim contract was required to avoid a gap in provision for looked after children and care leavers in the south of the County (Gedling, Broxtowe and Rushcliffe) and Ashfield. The Council intends to create additional capacity to fill the gap in service between 1 August 2022 and the new service commencement date, through the development of an interim solution whilst the implementation phase of the new service is completed. Framework Housing Association (FHA) is currently awarded an interim contract (due to expire 31st March 2026) to deliver 16+ supported accommodation service in the South of the County whilst the successful provider sources appropriate accommodation. There have been ongoing delays in the building of the new accommodation meaning that it will now not be ready until summer 2027. Therefore to ensure continuity of support for looked after children and care leavers and to ensure the County Council is meeting its statutory duties we are looking to provide FHA with a further direct award (1st April 2026 to 31st July 2027) to carry on this interim provision. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a14554b8-1076-46dc-b5d0-d03744f747e1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Jan 2026 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 31 Jul 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,045,170 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NOTTINGHAMSHIRE | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 7QP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF16 South Nottinghamshire | | Local authority | Rushcliffe | | Electoral ward | Trent Bridge | | Westminster constituency | Rushcliffe | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation ## Release History - 6 Jan 2026 at 10:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a14554b8-1076-46dc-b5d0-d03744f747e1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a14554b8-1076-46dc-b5d0-d03744f747e1 6th January 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
