## Summary

Dorset Council has awarded a contract for the construction of specialist modular homes at the Bus Shelter site, Mount Pleasant Park and Ride, Weymouth. The project's objective is to deliver and install five self-contained, temporary modular homes by 21st March 2025. This procurement falls under the construction industry category, specifically under Construction structures and materials, and Modular and portable buildings. The total contract value is £450,000, and the open procurement method was used. Key dates include the tender period ending on 20th September 2024, and the contract period from 2nd December 2024 to 21st March 2025. The successful supplier is Qube Construct Ltd, an SME based in Somerset.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in manufacturing and delivering modular and portable buildings, fostering potential growth within the construction materials sector. SMEs and Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process due to its open procedure and the project’s alignment with public funding for homelessness accommodation. The contract's high profile, coupled with regular monitoring and progress reporting to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, highlights the potential for ongoing collaboration and visibility for participating businesses.

## Notice

The aim of the project is to deliver 5 additional temporary modular homes. There is a need to procure a supplier to manufacture and deliver 5 self-contained, modular units at The Bus Shelter site, Mount Pleasant Park and Ride, in Weymouth. Following a successful bid for Single Homeless Accommodation Programme (SHAP) funding Dorset Council was awarded funding to deliver 5 modular units and to qualify for the funding the units need to be ready for occupation by 21st March 2025. The total value of this contract is PS450,000. Further to this funding application there were discussions about the project with colleagues in Dorset Council from Assets & Property and Commercial & Procurement, and it was determined that the bid had been based on prices for Supply of the Specialist Modular Builds (as opposed to Works), and the funding for this would exceed the Public Contract Regulations 2015 threshold. Funding is high profile and is subject to monthly meetings with advisors from Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Progress will also be monitored on a quarterly basis through Key Performance Indicators set by MHCLG. Dorset Council have existing contractual relationships with the Bus Shelter Weymouth who provide intensive 24/7 support to the existing 12 pods. A grant from the government's Next Steps Accommodation Programme (NSAP) funded the existing 12 pod units at the site which were installed in 2021, and Rough Sleeper Initiative (RSI) funding provides rolling revenue funding for 2.5 support workers at the project.
