The current stage is the Tender stage, with an open procedure that is classified under the light touch regime as per the Procurement Act 2023. This contract anticipates the provision of approximately 140 properties for temporary accommodation to meet the needs of homeless households, adhering to the Housing Act 1996. Key deadlines include an enquiry period ending on 17th October 2025 and a tender submission deadline of 31st October 2025. The framework, valued at £25,000,000, is set to commence on 1st January 2026, potentially extending up to 2030, and is based in the UKG39 region, Wolverhampton. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in providing health, social work, and accommodation services. Companies with experience in managing temporary housing solutions and those capable of fulfilling quality standards as set by the council are particularly well-placed to benefit. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given their eligibility and suitability criteria. The flexible nature of the framework, allowing reopening for additional suppliers, provides an ongoing potential for business growth and expanded service offerings in collaboration with Wolverhampton City Council. ## Notice The Housing Act 1996 part VII (as amended by the 2002 Homelessness Act) requires all councils to ensure that interim accommodation is available to homeless households seeking assistance under the homeless legislation and, if a statutory homeless duty is accepted, that provision of temporary accommodation must continue until the homeless household is offered either a secure tenancy, or assured tenancy; or an assured short hold tenancy within the private sector. The council will require approximately 140 properties for households at any one time as part of this framework agreement. The intention of the framework is to provide suitable provision for temporary accommodation at all times. The procurement is for services which are considered Light Touch Regime (LTR) services under the Procurement Act 2023, as specified in Section of the Act. This document describes how the Procurement will be conducted, including details of the associated Procurement timetable, award criteria and how to respond to this opportunity. The initial term will be for 3 (three) years, with the option for 1 (one) 2 (two) year extension. The framework will be based on minimum acceptable performance (map) being met by the tenderer as identified via key performance indicators. The total framework term will not exceed 5 (five) years. The local authority will create an open, flexible framework in accordance with Section 9 (5) and 45 (9) in the act. The authority reserves the right to re-open the framework at any time to allow further suppliers to bid. When reopening the framework, the authority will not change any T & C's or framework requirements. ### Planning Information The council is publishing a pre-market engagement questionnaire to better understand the capabilities of the market. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061748-2025 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Oct 2025 | | Submission deadline | 31 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | 1 Aug 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2026 - 31 Dec 2028 | | Recurrence | 2030-03-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000,000 | | Lots value | £25,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WOLVERHAMPTON CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | WOLVERHAMPTON | | Post town | Wolverhampton | | Postcode | WV1 1SH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG39 Wolverhampton | | Local authority | Wolverhampton | | Electoral ward | St Peters | | Westminster constituency | Wolverhampton West | | Delivery location | TLG39 Wolverhampton | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 2 Oct 2025 at 13:09 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061748-2025 - 21 May 2025 at 10:14 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023698-2025 - 25 Mar 2025 at 08:57 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011023-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061748-2025 2nd October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023698-2025 21st May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011023-2025 25th March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - www.wolverhamptontenders.com ## Notice URLs - http://www.wolverhamptontenders.com - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
