## Summary

Manchester City Council, located in Manchester, UK, has completed the procurement process for its "Housing Related Support Accommodation - Framework". This open framework aims to provide short-term accommodation services to support vulnerable individuals aged 18 and above, enabling them to regain independence and participate in meaningful activities such as work and volunteering. The framework will also accommodate occasional needs for younger individuals aged 16 or 17. The procurement process utilized an open procedure, allowing for competitive selection and direct awards without competition where necessary. The total framework period is projected to last eight years, with the first stage commencing on 1st February 2026 and lasting until 31st January 2028, with options for extensions. The contract, valued at £37,920,000, covers housing-related services entirely in Manchester and was signed on 31st January 2026.

This tender serves as an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in housing services and those interested in expanding their operations in the social welfare sector. It involves collaboration with multiple suppliers known for their capabilities in supporting vulnerable groups, such as CARITAS Diocese of Salford, Great Places Housing Association, and Nacro. Businesses with expertise in accommodation services, particularly those with experience in providing tailored and flexible support to the community, will find the framework well-suited to their strengths. The inclusion of VCSE (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise) players offers additional avenues for organisations with social impact missions to expand their influence and operational capacity in this growing and vital sector.

## Notice

An Open Framework for the provision of short-term accommodation service to support vulnerable people, aged 18 or above, to help them regain their independence, live independently within their communities, maintain or improve their health and wellbeing, and participate in meaningful activities including work, training, volunteering and personal interests/hobbies. The service will also remain flexible to accommodate younger individuals aged 16 or 17 years old or above on occasions, as requested by commissioners, ensuring tailored support to this group when needed. The expectation is that the significant majority of the people receiving support in housing related support accommodation will be 18 years of age or older. In assessing individual housing related support needs, the Provider will be expected to identify and work with other agencies, to address the root causes of problems and not just the symptoms, and deliver sequenced, evidence-based interventions, strengths-based assessment and support planning. Individuals who are in receipt of support in services must also be encouraged and supported to become actively involved in making decisions about their support, and they should be facilitated to do this wherever possible. People accessing these accommodation-based support services will not be charged, other that rent and service charges, and utility bills as agreed in the accommodation provider's occupancy agreement. The total open framework period will be for 8 years, with the following indicative terms for each framework in the scheme: * Framework 1 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year * Framework 2 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year * Framework 3 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year * Framework 4 - Period of 2 years with the option to extend for an additional year

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Renewal: As per section 49 of the Procurement Act 2023, the maximum term of the Open Framework will be 8 years. Therefore, depending on the number of extensions taken, the indicative periods above may change as the Open Framework progresses. For example, if extensions are taken for Framework 1 & 2, there will only be 2 years available for Framework 3, after which the Open Framework would expire. In any case where only 1 supplier is awarded to a framework within the scheme, the Open Framework will expire at the end of its current framework. For example, if Framework 3 is only awarded to 1 supplier, then the Open Framework will expire after Framework 3 has ended. Extensions will be reviewed for each Framework period however will be dependent on the supplier's ability to maintain their tendered offer. Further details are outlined within the procurement documentation.
