## Summary

Plymouth City Council has awarded a contract for the Safe Accommodation Support Service, aimed at providing safe accommodation for adult and child survivors. The project comes under the 'Social work and related services' industry category and seeks additional investment and collaborative efforts to expand these services. The contracting process has reached the award stage, with the Bournemouth Churches Housing Association Limited selected as the supplier. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030, with possibilities for extensions until 31 March 2036. The procurement method utilised was an 'open procedure' under the 'light touch' regime. Key milestones include the end date of the standstill period on 26 February 2026, and the contract is primarily located in the UKK41 region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social accommodation services to diversify and expand their portfolios. With the potential for contract renewals and geographic expansion, companies offering innovative solutions for accommodation and support services stand to benefit. The tender process favoured suppliers with social value initiatives, making it ideal for large businesses or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) ready to partner with local authorities like Plymouth City Council. SMEs might find participation challenging at the final bidding stage but can explore subcontracting or collaborative opportunities for growth within this substantial six-year project.
