About

Rochdale Borough Council is seeking feedback from organisations experienced in delivering temporary accommodation, homelessness accommodation, supported housing and related support services to inform the development of a future Temporary Accommodation and Homelessness Supported Housing Framework. The proposed framework is expected to include multiple lots covering bed & breakfast and nightly paid accommodation, dispersed accommodation for families, and supported pathway housing services. The Soft Market Testing exercise aims to understand current market capacity and appetite, test the viability of the proposed service models, obtain feedback on the draft specifications and framework structure, identify any barriers to participation and inform the Council's procurement strategy and tender documentation. This exercise is for information-gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition or a commitment to undertake a procurement process. Interested organisations are invited to review the attached documents and complete the Soft Market Testing Questionnaire; responses must be submitted electronically through The Chest messaging facility/project response area by 16th November 2026 — responses submitted by email will not be accepted.
