Addressing homelessness and rough sleeping, this service targets individuals with complex, multiple needs including substance abuse and mental health issues in Northampton, UK. The procurement follows an open, competitive flexible procedure under the light-touch regime, adhering to legal regulations set by UKPGA 2023/54. Key activities include a completed tender phase as of 1 April 2026, with bids evaluated and the award pending. The contract, valued at approximately £966,475, is set to commence on 1 May 2026 and could extend through March 2029, subject to funding. This tender presents myriad opportunities for growth within the health and social care industries, well-suited for large organisations capable of managing complex social work services. Businesses specialising in day care, guidance, and accommodation-based social services might find this sector particularly rewarding. With a large-scale contract awarded to Connection Support, the focus is on delivering trauma-informed care tailored to the demographic's specific needs. Competing enterprises with expertise in handling substance abuse, mental health, and housing services could position themselves advantageously for similar future opportunities. The procurement process highlights a rigorous but transparent selection mechanism, ensuring the best service delivery outcomes and further business expansion through collaboration with public authorities. ## Notice West Northamptonshire Council wishes to invite tenders for the provision of a High Support Accommodation Service at Ray House for individuals who are homeless and have a history of rough sleeping. The Service will provide person centred support (excluding regulated personal care which remains the responsibility of adult social care services) to people that are considered to have more complex, multiple needs, likely to include alcohol and/or substance abuse issues, poor mental health, trauma and involvement in the criminal justice system.
