## Summary

Warrington Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for the delivery of a comprehensive Supported Housing Needs Assessment (SHNA) and the development of a Local Supported Housing Strategy (LSHS). This contract, initiated through direct procurement without competition, aimed to support the Council in fulfilling its statutory obligations under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. The procurement falls within the 'services' category, specifically targeting housing services and research and development consultancy. The awarded contract commenced on 16th July 2026 and is set to conclude on 1st July 2027, with an overall gross value of GBP 81,583. The delivery is focused on the Warrington region (UKD61) in the United Kingdom, emphasizing regional needs for supported housing.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in housing services and research and consultancy sectors, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive needs assessments and strategic planning. The procurement process being below the threshold indicates that businesses focusing on niche and specialized services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-suited to compete in such tenders. Successful delivery could enhance business credibility and lead to further contract opportunities within public authorities, expanding growth through proven expertise in fulfilling statutory requirements efficiently. The involvement of an SME, ARC4 LIMITED, showcases the effectiveness and competitiveness of smaller enterprises in the public procurement domain.
