Details

The Council is seeking to engage with providers that can deliver high-quality supported accommodation for people experiencing homelessness, rough sleeping, and multiple disadvantages. Our aim is to ensure that individuals with complex needs have:

  • Access to person-centred supported accommodation that enables them to develop the skills and stability needed to access and sustain future tenancies.
  • Clear and effective pathways into settled, unsupported accommodation.
  • Access to partner agencies and specialist services that support recovery, independence, wellbeing, and progression, while reducing the risk of future homelessness.

The information that you may provide is for information purposes only and will be used to understand the market and inform the development of any future procurement. Please see attached details in the Market Engagement Opportunity Document. We would appreciate suppliers taking the time to read the document and complete and provide The Market Engagement Response Document. Only information provided in this document will be reviewed. Please send completed responses via The Chest messaging system by the closing date of 14:00 on 6 October 2026.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this sports, recreation & events opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
