Summary, notice description and lot information
The public procurement process led by Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council involves a "Rough Sleeping Service" aiming to support rough sleepers across the region. Categorised under Health and Social Work services, this initiative seeks to address homelessness with severe weather emergency provisions and multi-agency community hubs. Located in the South West UK (UKK24), the process had progressed to the award stage by January 2026 after commencing tendering in 2025.
The open competitive flexible procedure culminated in a signed contract with St Mungo's, set to run from December 2025 to November 2028, with the possibility of extensions up to 2031. The total value of the contract is £3,155,742. This procurement provides significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialised in providing social services and support for vulnerable populations.
Organisations with experience in outreach services and housing solutions, particularly those already engaged in the public sector or familiar with multi-disciplinary partnerships, stand to benefit. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged, though the contract highlights a preference for experienced operators in rough sleeping services. This initiative supports wider community welfare objectives, potentially opening doors for further collaborations and projects aiming at social impact.
Options to extend are subject to satisfactory performance throughout the life of the contract and the Council's confirmation of funding availability (budget).
