## Summary

The procurement process for the "Rough Sleeper Initiative Contract" was conducted by West Suffolk Council, a public authority in Bury St Edmunds, United Kingdom. The contract focuses on providing mental health interventions for individuals experiencing homelessness and is categorised under health and social work services. It covers the UKH14 region and is delivered by the Norfolk Suffolk Foundation Trust, with the procurement stage complete as of early 2026. The contracting process followed a direct procurement method below the competitive threshold, with the contract having been awarded in April 2025 and set to run until the end of March 2026.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for organisations engaged in health and social services, particularly those specialising in community-based mental health interventions. Although the opportunity was fulfilled without competition, businesses that can demonstrate expertise in similar initiatives or are capable of partnering with local councils and health organisations might find growth potential in future contracts of this nature. SMEs specialising in social support services could explore such partnership opportunities for enhanced community service delivery and sustainable business development.

## Notice

The contractor will be working with the wider project partners to include the Rough Sleeper Project Manager (RSPM), Rough Sleeper Navigators, Rough Sleeper Outreach, emergency bed provision and Housing First support workers and any other project partners who may join the project under direction of the RSPM.
