The procurement, finalized on 29th August 2025, involves delivering health and social work services, specifically through refuge accommodation and onsite support services in Poole. Operating under a "lightTouch" regime, this direct procurement process was executed below the threshold without competition, culminating in the award of a contract valued at £281,190.

The contract period runs from 1st July 2025 to 30th September 2026. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those capable of providing refuge accommodations and support for vulnerable groups. Although the process has been completed, similar future opportunities could benefit businesses of all scales aiming to collaborate with sub-central government authorities like Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council.

The awarded contract was secured by Bournemouth Churches Housing Association, a large-scale organisation with a voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) background, indicating an advantage for socially-driven entities in similar procurement processes.
