Housing Related Support - Homeless Pathway

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has completed a direct award procurement process for the "Housing Related Support - Homeless Pathway" project, aimed at providing services to support homeless people into accommodation. The procurement is categorised under health and social work services and is located in the UKK24 region of the United Kingdom. The contract, amidst the light touch procurement regime, awarded on 23rd October 2025, will remain effective until the end of March 2026.

The process involved a direct award to experienced providers St Mungo's, Bournemouth YMCA, and Bournemouth Churches Housing Association, leveraging their existing services to enhance support for homeless and at-risk individuals. This tender represents notable opportunities for organisations specialising in social support services, especially those with experience in housing and community welfare for vulnerable populations. Businesses that are capable of integrating with established services will benefit from potential expansion through this initiative.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) operating in the health and social work services sector may find avenues for collaboration and resource optimisation, building strategic partnerships to enhance service delivery within the specified regions.
