## Summary

East Suffolk Council is undertaking a procurement process titled "Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Services procurement" with the aim to deliver essential services under the Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Grant from 2026 to 2029. Located in the UK, specifically East Suffolk, this procurement is relevant to the public authority sub-central government industry category. The procurement consists of two key components: a Safe to Stay Hub in Lowestoft and the provision of 10 Rough Sleeping Initiative beds across North and South East Suffolk. The contract was awarded to Anglia Care Trust for the Rough Sleeping Initiative, valued at £291,330 including VAT, and spans from 1st June 2026 to 1st June 2029, with a possible 12-month extension. The procurement stage is currently at the contract amendment phase, designed to enhance existing services by increasing accommodation capacity within Lot 2.

The procurement process offers significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses in the service sector capable of providing accommodation and support services. The open procedure used in this tender encourages various suppliers to participate, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focussed on housing services or social support initiatives. As only a limited number of bids were received for Lot 2, similar businesses could identify potential to offer innovative solutions or additional capacity, particularly in the under-represented Lot 1, to further aid East Suffolk's mission to reduce and eliminate rough sleeping in the area.
