## Summary

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is seeking a consultancy to complete a Supported Housing Needs Assessment and produce a Supported Housing Strategy. The work covers all relevant supported housing, including supported exempt accommodation, and must provide an evidence-based view of current and future needs. The strategy is intended to inform commissioning, planning, regulatory oversight and partnership working, while aligning with housing, homelessness, adult social care, health and community safety strategies. The supplier must also set out clear actions to support delivery. The approach must involve co-production with internal and external partners and other stakeholders. This is a public-sector services requirement for research and development consultancy, delivered for the council in Bracknell Forest.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot requirement with an estimated value of £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). Enquiries had to be submitted by 1 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Electronic submission is allowed. Evaluation is weighted 60% for quality and 40% for price. The council identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits consultancies with experience in supported housing research, needs assessments and strategy development. Suppliers will need to interpret and apply the statutory guidance under the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023, assess present and future demand, and cover supported exempt accommodation as well as other forms of supported housing. Strong evidence gathering and analysis will be important, together with the ability to turn findings into practical commissioning, planning, regulatory and partnership actions. The successful supplier must align the work with housing, homelessness, adult social care, health and community safety strategies, and co-produce the strategy with council teams, external partners and stakeholders. Organisations with relevant public-sector policy and stakeholder-engagement experience are well placed to compete.
