The contract has been awarded to Framework Housing Association, a large organisation headquartered in Nottingham, known for its work in social services. The procurement, completed through an open procedure under the light-touch regime, reached the award stage, with the service provision running from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2030, extendable up to 2034. The total contract value is approximately £52 million, with a gross value of £62.4 million. This initiative, regulated by the UKPGA 2023/54, is aimed at establishing a minimum of 160 supported accommodation units across Derbyshire, addressing the need for housing options with on-site or outreach support services for youth preparing for independent living. This contract presents considerable growth opportunities for businesses within the social services sector, particularly those experienced in providing supported accommodation and care services. Organisations specializing in social work and related services, especially those with a focus on transitional support for young people, would find this tender beneficial. Framework Housing Association's engagement in this contract highlights the scope for large-scale providers to collaborate with local government to deliver critical social services. Businesses with capabilities in managing large accommodation projects with integrated social care are well-suited to benefit from similar future tenders, fostering growth by aligning with public service needs and expanding their service portfolios within the UK regions, particularly in the East Midlands. ## Notice This notice is issued to provide the redacted contract associated with Contract Award Notice 2025/S 000-043943.
