## Summary

The procurement process led by Thurrock Council, under the tender title "Supported Accommodation," involves the direct award of a contract to PEABODY TRUST. This process, associated with the social work services sector, addresses the demand for accommodation-based support for adults with care needs in Thurrock, UK. The procurement, tagged under the 'lightTouch' regime, is currently in the award stage, with notable deadlines including a milestone for future signature of the contract by 1 June 2026. The contract period spans from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2032, with a potential extension until 31 March 2033. The direct award method highlights the necessity for exclusive supplier involvement due to the inseparable nature of the accommodation services and the properties managed by the supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in supported accommodation and social care services, particularly those with a regional focus in the UK. Companies like PEABODY TRUST, which already operate large-scale and possess exclusive rights to specific housing facilities, could potentially benefit from such procurements. The emphasis on maintaining stable tenancies and promoting independent living aligns with strategic growth for businesses specialising in long-term social work services and infrastructure management, fostering partnerships that offer stability and specialised care solutions to the community.

## Notice

The provision of an accommodation-based support service within Thurrock for adults with care and support needs, including learning disabilities, mental health needs and autism. The service supports individuals to maintain safe and stable tenancies and to develop daily living skills that enable greater independence. The service is delivered within a small number of supported housing settings and accommodates a limited cohort of residents. It plays an important role in supporting people to move on from family homes or residential care and progress towards more independent living arrangements.

### Procurement Information

The contracting authority relies on the direct award ground set out in Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, where the contract may only be supplied by a particular supplier and there is no reasonable alternative. The supplier holds exclusive rights in relation to the supported housing accommodation in which the services are delivered. The accommodation-based support service is intrinsically linked to, and inseparable from, those properties, as the service is provided solely to residents occupying the accommodation. No reasonable alternative supplier is capable of delivering the services without removing and relocating vulnerable residents from their homes. Such relocation would result in unacceptable disruption to established tenancies, care arrangements and wellbeing, and would not constitute a reasonable or proportionate alternative. Accordingly, the services can only be delivered by the current supplier, and a competitive procurement would not be appropriate or effective in achieving the authority's required outcomes.
