Summary of the contracting process

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to shape the future of its Housing Related Support (HRS) services, aimed at enhancing residents' abilities to manage their homes and reducing homelessness. The process is currently in the planning stage, and a collaborative workshop will be held on 4th December 2025 at Centre4 Wootton Hall, Grimsby.

The engagement is part of a discovery project initiated in early 2025, and businesses in the housing and support sectors are invited to provide insights by 23rd December 2025. This process falls under the services category, with a framework agreement in place, and it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs).

The council plans to start the contract on 1st October 2026, lasting up to 2031, with possible extensions to 2034.

The notice in full

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council's Housing Related Support (HRS) service is delivered in partnership with local housing support services to teach citizens the skills to live independently and prevent homelessness. HRS is a short-term support service which aims to give citizens the skills to manage their home well. The aim of HRS support, is that citizens will no longer need further assistance from other homelessness services.

The HRS service is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement, to enable the sharing of insights gathered as part of a discovery project completed in early 2025, and to discuss the perspectives of organisations within the HRS market, and local housing, housing support and support providers regarding HRS provision. This is first of what may be a series of PME activities to shape our future HRS requirement prior to re-procurement.
