## Summary

Falkirk Council intends to establish a framework agreement for homeless supported accommodation, outreach tenancy support and Housing First services in Falkirk. This is a social care and housing support contract, covering four service areas. Supported accommodation for young people aged 16 to 35 will provide interim housing support and move-on outreach, prioritising those aged 16 to 21. A second supported accommodation service will support single people, couples and families aged 16 and over. Tenancy support will help people at risk of, or recently affected by, homelessness to sustain accommodation and live independently. Housing First will provide flexible, intensive, person-centred support for adults experiencing recurrent homelessness and multiple complex needs, promoting tenancy sustainment, wellbeing and community integration. Falkirk Council will provide accommodation units for the first two services.

The procurement is at the planning stage and currently concerns a provider information event, rather than an invitation to tender. Falkirk Council expects to re-tender its framework after the existing arrangement expires on 31 March 2027, with an anticipated contract start on 1 April 2027. The expected procurement method is a framework agreement, with a future notice date of 9 October 2026. The buyer plans an online information event via Microsoft Teams on 15 September 2026 at 10am, lasting approximately one hour. Providers wishing to attend are expected to register by 10 September 2026. The estimated total value is £6.6 million. The four planned lots cover young persons’ accommodation, accommodation for single people, couples and families, tenancy support, and Housing First services.

This will suit housing associations, homelessness charities, supported accommodation providers, tenancy sustainment services and specialist social care organisations able to deliver services in Falkirk. Suitable providers will need experience supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, including young people, families and adults with recurrent homelessness and multiple complex needs. The work will require the ability to provide accommodation-based, community and outreach support, alongside practical help to develop independence and sustain tenancies. Housing First providers should be able to deliver flexible, intensive, long-term and person-centred support using Housing First principles and a multi-agency approach. Organisations should be prepared to demonstrate effective safeguarding, partnership working, health and wellbeing support, and routes towards settled accommodation and community integration when the procurement reaches the market.
