Market engagement for the provision of Accommodation Based Housing Support

Buckinghamshire Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a market engagement focused on the provision of Accommodation Based Housing Support. This initiative aims to commission a service for 40-45 single individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, specifically catering to those aged 18-70 years with high support needs or with medium support needs but high risk. The procurement process is situated within the health and social work services category and takes place in the region of Buckinghamshire, UK (UKJ13).

Businesses are encouraged to complete a questionnaire by the due date of 8th August 2025, with further notices anticipated on 8th September 2025. This tender represents a potential opportunity for businesses specialising in housing support and social care services, particularly those capable of providing both support services and accommodation solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are well-suited to compete in this bidding process, given the contract's suitability criteria.

The focus on a holistic housing support framework aligns with services that provide high-touch care for vulnerable populations, thus encouraging organisations with experience in managing accommodation and intricate support needs to explore growth by engaging in this procurement process.
