## Summary

Leicester City Council commissioned supported living services for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. The requirement covers the delivery of support packages through three separate opportunities at various locations across the East Midlands. It is a health and social work services contract, including accommodation-based or community support provision for individuals requiring ongoing assistance to live with greater independence. The procurement was run through the council’s existing supported living framework, specifically Lot 1 for supported living services for people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. The council is the buying organisation, with delivery taking place across locations in and around the East Midlands.

This completed procurement used a selective restricted procedure and was run as a mini-tender among providers eligible for Lot 1 of Leicester City Council’s supported living framework. The tender deadline was 4 September 2026 at 14:00, and the award was made on 14 September 2026. The estimated procurement value was £6,077,642. An active award valued at £5,381,895.05 covers the period from 6 October 2026 to 31 October 2027. Pathfinders Community Support Ltd was awarded Opportunities 1 and 3, while Voyage 1 Limited was awarded Opportunity 2. The award was made on the basis of the restricted mini-tender process; the published information identifies the service scope and framework eligibility but does not give weighted evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for providers able to deliver supported living services to people with learning disabilities and mental health needs across multiple locations. A credible future competitor would need to be eligible for the relevant supported living framework route, or otherwise monitor equivalent framework opportunities, and show the operational capacity to manage several service packages rather than a single placement. Relevant strengths include experience of person-centred supported living, safeguarding, risk management, mental health support and enabling people with learning disabilities to live as independently as possible. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, while the successful supplier group included both an SME community support provider and a large specialist care organisation.

## Notice

The Authority sought to re-commission the support packages via a mini-tender with eligible providers who are registered on Lot 1 (Supported Living Services for People with Learning Disabilities and Mental Health) of Leicester City Council's existing Supported Living framework. The successful provider(s) will be required to deliver services at various locations, which are categorised into three separate opportunities.
