Open Framework for Supported and Temporary Accommodation

Stockton on Tees Borough Council is planning an Open Framework for Supported and Temporary Accommodation, aimed at providing support to Children, Young People, Adults, and Families. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the framework set to open in mid-2026 and expected to last up to eight years. This service-oriented framework falls under the health and social work services category.

The council has scheduled several market engagement events in January 2026, with details available for interested providers. The main service locations are within the UK, specifically targeting the region of Stockton on Tees. This procurement offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses that specialise in social work, accommodation services, or who provide support to vulnerable demographics.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations with a focus on voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to participate. The framework’s annual opening and its division into multiple lots based on user demographics indicate an ongoing demand for diverse service models, allowing businesses to strategically align their services with the needs identified by the council.
