## Summary

Middlesbrough Council, a sub-central government authority, has concluded the procurement process for its project titled "R080 - Homeless Service - Broadcasting House". The award stage has been completed, as of 19th January 2026, with Hobson Smith (Construction) Ltd selected to deliver the construction works necessary to safely relocate the Council's Homeless Service. This decision addresses significant health and safety issues previously encountered at Middlesbrough House. The contract, valued at £725,000 gross, spans from 1st February 2026 to 31st May 2026, and is classified under the industry's construction work category, targeting the UKC12 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised was direct and below threshold, allowing for swift engagement without competition, ensuring the timely relocation of services.

This contracting opportunity presents growth potential for construction businesses, especially those focused on significant renovation and relocation projects in the public sector. Companies with expertise in handling projects with critical safety and functionality components will find this contract aligns well with their capabilities. The project underlines the need for specialised handling to ensure a safe environment for public service delivery, making it an attractive proposition for experienced firms in the construction sector. This contract showcases the importance of adaptability and expertise in meeting public sector requirements, allowing businesses to expand their portfolio and refine their service offerings to local government entities.

## Notice

The Homeless Service has been operating from Middlesbrough House since 2018. During that time, very significant health and safety issues have occurred, including physical/verbal assaults, sometimes involving weapons, and damage to property. These incidents have escalated over the years and continue to pose a serious risk to the public and Council staff alike. The considerable health and safety issues have resulted in an urgent requirement to relocate the service from Middlesbrough House to their own discrete, dedicated space with secure reception and meeting rooms. This would allow the Council to fulfil its duties and complete Care Act and homeless assessments and provide housing support in a well-managed and safe environment.
