Contract for Safe Supported Accommodation for those Experiencing Domestic Abuse (Retender)
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Gateshead Borough Council, a public authority in the UK, is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a contract titled "Contract for Safe Supported Accommodation for those Experiencing Domestic Abuse (Retender)." This contract falls under the health and social work services category and aims to provide housing-related support services to individuals affected by domestic abuse. The initiative is part of a light-touch regime, and the service delivery is intended to be flexible and trauma-informed, supporting victim-survivors in various aspects of their lives.
The current procurement process is at the market engagement stage, with a key milestone being the completion of a market engagement questionnaire by 10th February 2026. The contract period is scheduled to start on 1st June 2026 and will run until 1st June 2029 in the region of UKC2, United Kingdom. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in providing accommodation-based support to vulnerable populations.
Companies that can offer trauma-informed care and are adept at delivering person-centred services will be well-positioned to compete. The focus on flexible and accessible support tailored to the needs of victim-survivors of domestic abuse presents opportunities for innovative service delivery models that enhance safety and well-being. Engaging with the current market consultation processes may provide an advantage, enabling businesses to align their offerings with the Council's aims and potentially influence procurement requirements.
Gateshead Council recently sought to procure a contract for the provision of domestic abuse supported accommodation. Unfortunately, not all lots resulted in award, so the Council is now undertaking market engagement to better understand the challenges and barriers that may have prevented providers from bidding. The purpose of the service is to provide an accommodation-based housing related support service delivered to meet the needs of those experiencing domestic abuse.
The Service Provider will work with victim-survivors to reduce the risk of homelessness, address and support other aspects of their lives whilst maintaining positive relationships through a trauma informed approach. The tailored support will be flexible, determined by the victim-survivor's needs and service user led. The aim of the service is to provide accessible safe accommodation services to ensure victim-survivors are safeguarded from domestic abuse.
