Provision of Housing First Support Services

The procurement process overseen by Falkirk Council, located at The Foundry in Larbert, UKM76, has reached the Contract Award stage for the project titled "Provision of Housing First Support Services." This falls under the industry category of General Public Services, particularly focusing on services aimed at addressing homelessness and associated challenges. The contract was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, under the limited procurement method as permitted by the Procurement Reform Scotland Act 2014.

The contract, valued at £285,000, was signed on 13th March 2025, involving the contractor Transform Forth Valley, a small to medium enterprise (SME) providing services within the local region. This tender offers distinct opportunities for SMEs involved in social care or housing services, particularly those specializing in support for homelessness, mental health, or addiction services. Businesses equipped to deliver multi-agency, person-centred support could greatly benefit from such projects, potentially expanding their service reach and portfolio.

The focus on providing stable accommodations as a foundation for addressing additional social challenges aligns well with enterprises committed to social responsibility and community engagement. As Falkirk Council progresses its initiatives, experienced companies in these domains are optimally positioned to enter future collaborations and support the council's goals in addressing homelessness and related social issues.
