109W25

Halton Borough Council, located in Widnes, UK, has awarded a contract for a public procurement process titled "109W25: Supported Accommodation for Single Homeless Persons" in the services industry category, specifically focusing on health and social work services. The contract, which commenced on 1st May 2025 and will conclude on 30th April 2026, is valued at £584,915. It was awarded using a direct procurement method under a "below threshold - without competition" process, due to its special light-touch regime.

The procurement process is currently in the 'Award' stage, with the award officially made on 1st May 2025. This contract presents significant opportunities for enterprises involved in providing health and social work services, particularly those capable of offering supported accommodation. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), like THE CYRENIANS LTD, which has already been awarded the contract, are well-suited to engage in similar public procurement processes, particularly if focused on services that support vulnerable populations.

Businesses specialising in housing and social welfare can leverage such contracts to establish or expand their footprint in the public sector, contributing to community welfare while ensuring sustainable business growth.
