## Summary

St Helens Council, a sub-central government public authority, is planning a procurement process for a project titled "Engagement Event - Housing with Care" in the health and social work services category. The location for the engagement is St Helens Town Hall, Assembly Hall Victoria Avenue, St Helens WA10 6PA. The process is currently at the planning stage, with an engagement event scheduled from 10:30 to 12:30pm on 11th November 2025. Social landlords, providers of social housing, and care providers with available accommodation are encouraged to participate as the council defines its market position and goals for housing with care over the upcoming years. This initiative falls under a light-touch regime, and the contract period is slated to begin on 1st April 2026 and last until 31st March 2028, with a possible extension to 31st March 2029.

This tender presents significant opportunities for enterprises operating within the health and social services sector. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with suitable accommodation services are particularly well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity. Engaging in this tender process can provide these businesses with a platform to establish long-term partnerships with St Helens Council and expand their service offerings within the borough. Participating in the preliminary engagement and completing the pre-event questionnaire can yield insights into the council's objectives and enhance the likelihood of securing a favourable position in subsequent procurement phases.

## Notice

St Helens Council are looking to encourage, social landlords, providers of social housing and possibly care providers with available accommodation to attend an engagement event to allow the council to communicate their market position on housing with care and the objectives they are looking to achieve over the next few years within the borough of St Helens. There is a short questionnaire attached that we would like providers to complete prior to the event. The council would like an understanding of who is attending and what properties are available. The engagement event is to be held at St Helens Town Hall, Assembly Hall Victoria Avenue, St Helens WA10 6PA and will run from 10.30-12.30pm on the 11th November.
