## Summary

Exeter City Council procured accommodation with support at Howell Road, Exeter. The service covers housing support within 11 units of accommodation operated by the supplier. It is intended for people needing supported accommodation, with the support funded through the MHCLG Homelessness, Rough Sleeping and Domestic Abuse Grant. The support is non-eligible for Housing Benefit. This is a public social care and supported housing service rather than a construction, property sale or general housing management contract. Delivery is in the Exeter area, with Exeter City Council as the buying organisation. The requirement suits organisations able to operate accommodation and provide structured housing-related support for residents in a homelessness or rough-sleeping context.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made to Sanctuary Housing Association on 20 August 2026. The award value is £93,100 excluding VAT and £111,720 including VAT. The awarded contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. One lot was completed. The planned signature date was 1 September 2026. The award was made on the basis of a direct award rather than competitive evaluation, so no tender scoring or comparative award criteria apply. Sanctuary Housing Association is the selected supplier for the accommodation-with-support service at Howell Road.

This award indicates a defined local demand for supported accommodation linked to homelessness, rough sleeping and domestic abuse support funding. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable accommodation, here demonstrated through an 11-unit provision, and deliver housing support as part of the accommodation service. Relevant capability includes managing residents safely, coordinating support within a supported housing setting, and meeting the practical requirements of grant-funded homelessness services. Organisations with an established housing operation and experience supporting people who are homeless or at risk of rough sleeping would be well placed. The selected supplier is a large housing association, indicating that operational scale, housing-management capability and the ability to run a sustained local service are relevant strengths.

## Notice
