What is being bought

Published requirement description

Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), in partnership with Probation Service, Derbyshire County Council, and all Local Authority across Derbyshire and Derby City, is seeking to procure a service that will secure a sustainable supply of affordable residential accommodation for single people who are offenders on probation licence. The initiative is expected to be titled the Offender Partnership PRS Scheme. We recognise that landlords may be hesitant to offer assured shorthold tenancies to offenders. To address these concerns, the scheme incorporates measures designed to provide reassurance, including financial safeguards and comprehensive tenant management and support. The initial contract will be for a period of one year, commencing in April/May 2026. We are inviting discussions with potential suppliers regarding this opportunity, which is anticipated to include: - Securing a minimum of 20 dispersed properties (predominantly self-contained, with some shared accommodation) across Derbyshire and Derby City, with an approximate 50:50 split. - Additional payments to landlords for tenant sign-up. - Access to a dedicated tenant support service, providing weekly engagement with tenants and acting as a point of contact for landlords to resolve any issues. Please note: All properties secured must be let under private tenancy agreement (assured shorthold tenancy) between the landlord, letting agent, or management agent. Supplier Engagement Event We will be hosting a Supplier Engagement event on Thursday 22nd January 2026, 13:00-14:00 via Microsoft Teams. If you would like to receive an invitation to this please send a message through EU Supply including your email address, so we can provide you with the meeting details.

Competition for Property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis (CPV 7033), and who usually turns up

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire has too little published record in this market to describe on its own. Published market evidence for the same work stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Property management services of real estate on a fee or contract basis (CPV 7033) →

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
