Support Services for Howell Road

The procurement process for "Support Services for Howell Road" was conducted by Exeter City Council, a public authority within the sub-central government category. Located in Exeter, United Kingdom, the process aimed to provide social work services with accommodation in the UKK4 region. Sanctuary Supported Living (SSL) was awarded the contract without competition due to the specific circumstances that SSL owns the project and is the landlord of the Howell Road building.

The procurement method employed was direct, which is categorised as a below-threshold process suitable when engaging with a single supplier. The contract, valued at £42,000, commenced on 1st August 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, involving services associated with the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis. This tender predominantly caters to businesses capable of providing social care services, with a specific focus on accommodation support.

As Sanctuary Supported Living already operates within this capacity as the landlord and service provider, this procurement primarily offers business opportunities for similar entities that may want to observe industry standards or benchmark their offerings against this project. Opportunities for business growth in this sector, such as social enterprises and small to medium enterprises in the housing support domain, may arise from analysing and potentially adapting service strategies demonstrated in this contractual arrangement. While the direct award limits immediate competition, awareness of such engagements can inform strategic positions for future tenders.
