Opportunity overview

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. Leicester City Council (LCC) is considering commissioning a Housing Support for people that use drugs and alcohol for Leicester. It is anticipated, dependent upon an engagement exercise, that tenders for this service would be sought later in 2026 to enable a new contract to begin from 01/04/2027. As part of the commissioning process, the authority is undertaking a soft market test, this gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about a potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop a specification. This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback. The council is extending this market engagement for two weeks from 29/06/2026 to 13/07/2026 for any other interested providers to participate.
