Tender description
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. This has been reopened for a further period of two weeks from 29/06/2026 to 13/07/2026 for any other interested providers to participate. Keywords: Housing Support, Alcohol , Drugs

About the buyer
Leicester City Council buys as a local authority, advertising most opportunities through East Midlands Tenders, its regional supplier portal. Larger contracts appear on Find a Tender instead, where any supplier awarded a contract must also register from April 2026. Some contracts run through outside frameworks, including ESPO and the Government Commercial Agency. Suppliers apply to those bodies directly to become approved framework suppliers. A two-year procurement plan for 2026 to 2028 is published on the council's open data site. Supplier selection also weighs social value, such as local job creation and environmental impact, alongside price.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Leicester City Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and software and information systems.
