Provision of Off-the-Streets Direct Access Hostel Accommodation and Management
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Bath and North East Somerset Council is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Provision of Off-the-Streets Direct Access Hostel Accommodation and Management," aimed at providing essential services in the social work sector. The contract seeks to secure hostel accommodation for rough sleepers in the region, with key deadlines emerging, such as the request for the completion of a questionnaire by 20th June 2025. The location for the services is within the B&NES area, and the total procurement value is estimated at £2.8 million.
This procurement will progress using the Open procedure as outlined in the Procurement Act 2023, with the contract set to commence in April 2027 and potentially extend to March 2034. This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses capable of providing or developing suitable hostel premises, either independently or in partnership with the council. Companies with existing or potential premises in the B&NES region, particularly those involved in social work services with accommodation, are well-suited to compete for this contract.
The procurement process is set to be inclusive, targeting Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), thus offering substantial growth potential for these organisations in the public sector consultancy and property management spheres.
Bath and North East Somerset Council is testing the market to better understand what the market could provide in relation to Homeless Off-the-Streets Direct Access Hostel accommodation, that will also include housing management and support. The primary purpose of the accommodation is to provide an alternative to rough sleeping for people at risk of or already doing so. We are currently testing the market for: Option 1: Organisations with: a.
Premises, that they currently own, and which are suitable for use for the hostel provision within the B&NES area; or b. Premises suitable for the hostel provision, that they can acquire through leasing/partnership agreement within the B&NES area; or c. A site that can be developed into hostel premises within the B&NES area, by the supplier organisation.
Option 2: Organisations that could: d. Source a site/building within the B&NES area and, in partnership with the council, develop a hostel to meet current and future needs of homeless population. e. In the event that the council is able to secure a suitable site, work in partnership to develop and deliver a hostel to meet current and future needs of homeless population.
The organisation will then provide support and housing management.
