The procurement is being developed with Bradford, Wakefield, Calderdale and Kirklees councils as partner organisations. The service is associated with community accommodation, but the planned service model, intended users and detailed activities are not described here. The procurement is organised as a single lot. The councils’ partnership suggests delivery across West Yorkshire, although no individual delivery locations are identified. The process is at planning stage: the councils are preparing the procurement and undertaking preliminary market engagement, rather than inviting bids. Suppliers considering accommodation-based social care or support services may wish to assess whether their work aligns with a future West Yorkshire pathway before the formal procurement is developed. Leeds City Council is the buyer, with Bradford, Wakefield, Calderdale and Kirklees councils involved as procurement partners. The process is in planning and concerns one lot. Market engagement is scheduled for 9 October 2026, and the buyer expects a future notice on 1 November 2026; these are planning expectations, not bid deadlines. The anticipated contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2030, with a possible extension to 31 January 2032. The procurement is above the relevant threshold, but no estimated contract value or planned procurement method is stated. No evaluation criteria or detailed participation requirements are provided at this stage. The single lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The planned service is likely to be relevant to providers able to deliver social work services linked to accommodation, particularly organisations with experience of community-based accommodation and partnership working across West Yorkshire. The buyer has identified the single lot as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that the intended market is not limited to large commercial providers. Providers should use the scheduled market engagement to help understand and inform the developing service model and to consider whether their accommodation, support and local delivery capabilities fit a multi-council pathway. No specific professional qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels, capacity thresholds or experience requirements have been set out. The anticipated multi-year service, with a possible extension, may suit organisations able to sustain delivery over a longer period, subject to the final requirements when the procurement reaches market. ## Notice West Yorkshire Community Accommodation Pathway - Market Engagement Exercise ### Planning Information West Yorkshire Community Accommodation Pathway - Market Engagement ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/090269-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Nov 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2027 - 31 Jan 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Leeds City Council | | Locality | LEEDS | | Postcode area | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 1UR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85311000 - Social work services with accommodation ## Release History - 23 Sep 2026 at 15:45 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/090269-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/090269-2026 23rd September 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/ - https://new.calderdale.gov.uk/ - https://www.bradford.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.wakefield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
