## Summary

Exeter City Council commissioned accommodation with support at Morwenna Court. The requirement covers housing-related support staff for 20 units of accommodation across several properties in Exeter, combining supported housing provision with social work services. The main service category is social work services with accommodation (CPV 85311000). The work is intended for residents using the accommodation and involves the delivery of support services alongside the housing provision. Exeter City Council is the public-sector buyer. The accommodation provider retains control of the properties and the associated support arrangement, making this a specialist supported-housing service rather than a general facilities, construction or standalone social-care contract. Businesses should therefore have relevant experience in accommodation-based support and the ability to operate within an existing housing provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award under the light-touch regime. BOURNEMOUTH CHURCHES HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED was selected as the supplier on 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £211,634 excluding VAT, or £253,960.80 including VAT. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with signature scheduled for 1 September 2026. The award is below the applicable threshold. The authority justified direct award on the basis that the accommodation provider has exclusive rights over the accommodation and will not accept third-party provision of the support services; it considered that there were no reasonable alternatives. The procurement comprised one completed lot and the award is active.

For a supplier that did not secure this award, the procurement indicates a defined market for accommodation-based housing support in Exeter, centred on a small portfolio of supported units rather than a broad social-care service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide housing-related support staff, understand the needs of residents in accommodation, and deliver social work services alongside day-to-day housing provision. Control of, or an established operating relationship with, the relevant accommodation may be decisive where the provider has exclusive rights and does not permit third-party support delivery. Relevant experience in supported housing, safeguarding, resident support and partnership working with a local authority would strengthen a competing proposition. The selected organisation is a large voluntary, community and social enterprise, indicating the type of established provider involved.

Subsidy to cover staff costs for housing-related support to 20 units of accommodation across several properties in Exeter.

### Procurement Information

The Procurement Act 2023, Section 41 (1) states if a direct award justification applies, a contracting authority may award a public contract directly to a supplier that is not an excluded supplier. Section 41 (6) states that the direct award justifications are set out in Schedule 5. Schedule 5 - Direct Award Justifications 5 The following conditions are met in relation to the public contract- (a) due to a particular supplier having intellectual property rights or other exclusive rights, only that supplier can supply the goods, services or works required, and (b) there are no reasonable alternatives to those goods, services or works. The direct award is justified because the accommodation provider has exclusive rights over the accommodation and will not accept any third-party service provision for support services.
