## Summary

Crawley Borough Council is planning a procurement process for the provision of services aimed at supporting rough sleepers to access and sustain accommodation, as well as mental health services. The procurement process, identified by the title "Crawley Borough Council - Housing first and complex needs tenancy sustainment," falls under the category of social work and related services. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with preliminary market engagement scheduled to conclude by 31st May 2026. Located in the United Kingdom, specifically UKJ28, this procurement process is set to begin its contract period on 1st September 2026, lasting until 31st August 2028, with a potential extension until 2029. The council is actively seeking responses from potential suppliers interested in engaging and sustaining their accommodation-related operations through this initiative.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those that qualify as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to support government efforts in addressing complex social needs. Companies specialising in social work, housing services, or mental health support services are well-suited to pursue this opportunity. The project's light-touch procurement regime underscores the focus on service delivery in a less restrictive regulatory environment, beneficial for innovative and community-focused businesses. With an estimated contract value of £150,000, this initiative offers the potential for businesses to grow their portfolio in public sector collaborations while contributing to crucial community development goals.
