## Summary

Exeter City Council procured accommodation-based support services at Gabriel House. The requirement is a subsidy to cover staff costs for providing housing-related support across 40 accommodation units. The service falls within social work services with accommodation and is intended for residents using supported housing. The work combines the operation of accommodation with the delivery of housing support by appropriately staffed social care or support services. This is a single requirement for the council, with Gabriel House as the named accommodation setting. It is relevant to housing associations, supported housing providers, charities and social care organisations able to manage accommodation and provide structured support to residents.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under the below-threshold light-touch regime. Exeter City Council awarded it to BOURNEMOUTH CHURCHES HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED on 20 August 2026. The award is active and covers the single lot. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT and £180,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. A contract signature was scheduled for 1 September 2026. The awarded service is for housing-related support at 40 units of accommodation, evaluated through a direct award rather than a competitive tender. The award concerns services, not goods or construction works.

This award indicates demand from Exeter City Council for staffed supported accommodation delivered through a housing association or similar provider. A credible future competitor would need to operate accommodation and provide housing-related support to residents, with the staffing capability to cover 40 units. Relevant experience would include supported housing management, social work or related accommodation-based support, resident safeguarding, tenancy sustainment and coordinated care or support delivery. Bournemouth Churches Housing Association is a large voluntary, community or social enterprise organisation, showing that the buyer’s requirement can be met by an established mission-led housing provider as well as by conventional commercial operators. Organisations able to combine property management, support staff and social care expertise are best placed.
