Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is re-procuring the "Young Persons Homelessness Pathfinder" service, focusing on preventing homelessness among young people aged 18-25. As a public authority operating from Manchester, UK, the GMCA has initiated this tender at the active stage. The procurement falls under the "Health and social work services" category, using an open procedure sensitive to light-touch regime principles.
Interested parties have until 2nd January 2026 to submit their tenders via the designated portal, with questions addressed by 24th December 2025. The service aligns with the Greater Manchester Strategy 2025 - 2035, emphasizing adaptability and responsive support, aiming to launch on 1st April 2026. This tender presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specializing in homelessness prevention, particularly those offering flexible, person-centered solutions.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete in this procurement, given the service’s community-focused nature and a contract value exceeding £6.5 million. Engaging in this contract can enhance a business’s profile within the public sector and support the attainment of social value outcomes, which are heavily weighted alongside technical capability and pricing considerations in the tender evaluation process.
The GMCA will be looking to reprocure The Greater Manchester young persons Homelessness prevention service. The Greater Manchester (GM) Young Persons Homelessness Prevention Service is a flexible, person-centred service designed to prevent homelessness for young people between the ages of 18-25. This service builds on the learning of the Young Persons Homelessness Prevention Pathfinder service which had previously been commissioned to provide homelessness prevention support for young people across GM between 2022 - 2026.
The new service model is expected to be outcomes based, evidence-informed, and highly personalised, enabling more flexible and responsive primary prevention focused support for young people at risk of homelessness. It will intervene for individuals who are at risk of their first instance of homelessness in the next 6 months at point of access and who are lacking the support that would enable them to prevent their situation worsening. The service also aligns heavily to priorities included as part of the Greater Manchester Strategy 2025 - 2035, working towards ensuring healthy homes for all and everyday support in every neighbourhood.
Extension periods are based on successful completion of the initial 12 month contract and funding approval. Extension period will be 1x 24 month extension
