Homeless Prevention Service

Pembrokeshire County Council is in the planning stage of tendering a contract for a Homeless Prevention Service, designed to provide support for individuals aged 16 and above requiring assistance to access and maintain housing. This initiative, set to begin on 1 August 2026, and run until 31 July 2030, with potential extensions, will be executed in the region of UKL14, Pembrokeshire, Wales. The service prioritises a strengths-based, person-led approach and is classified under health, social work, and housing services.

A pre-tender briefing event is scheduled virtually via Microsoft Teams on 23 January 2026 from 13:00 to 14:30, with enrolment details required by 22 January 2026. The annual value is estimated at £400,000 with a provision for an additional £20,000 for operational expenses. Potential suppliers are encouraged to attend the briefing to gain insight into the procurement process and ask pertinent questions.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those offering services in health and social work, housing provision, and community support. The project's alignment with the "Liberated Method," focusing on autonomy and empowerment, suggests the need for innovative service providers that can offer responsive and adaptable processes. Collaborating with Pembrokeshire County Council through this procurement could enhance business profiles and contribute to strategic growth through community-focused initiatives.

The significant contract value and long-term duration provide a stable income source foundational for business expansion and development of a portfolio within the public sector.
