Procurement method rationaleThe contracting authority is applying Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, relying on the lawful justification set out in Schedule 5, Paragraph 5. Home Group Ltd possesses exclusive rights arising from its long-term leasehold and legal interest in the accommodation units required for delivery of the Supported Temporary Accommodation service. Under Schedule 5, Paragraph 5(a)–(b), only the rights‑holder can lawfully permit service delivery within these premises, and no reasonable alternative supplier or site exists. This is confirmed by market engagement and soft‑market testing, which demonstrated that no other provider could supply the required service without acquiring those property rights.

    "riskDetails": "Exclusive‑Rights Dependency:\nThe contract relies on the supplier’s ownership or long‑term leasehold of the accommodation, meaning only the supplier can lawfully deliver services within those properties. This creates an inherent dependency and limits alternative delivery options if performance issues arise. \nLimited Market Capacity:\nSoft market testing confirmed a scarcity of alternative providers with suitable properties, increasing risk of service disruption if the supplier withdraws or underperforms. \nOccupancy and Throughput Risks:\nSavings and outcomes rely on timely occupancy by households transitioning from emergency accommodation. Slow throughput may reduce financial and operational benefits.  \nOperational Delivery Risks;\nFailure by the provider to maintain adequate staffing, deliver support safely, or meet safeguarding and compliance standards could impact service quality. \nFinancial and Inflationary Pressures;\nSupport costs depend on benchmarked ASC rates and annual SPPI indexation; significant inflation could affect affordability or service viability. Mitigation: defined indexation parameters and ability to vary contract terms where legislation or funding changes. \nLegal Challenge Risk (Direct Award);\nDirect award routes may attract scrutiny. Risk is mitigated through robust reliance on exclusive‑rights justification, publication of this transparency notice prior to award, and adherence to PA2023 Section 41 requirements. \nSupplier Withdrawal or Organisational Change:\nAny withdrawal or major change in the supplier’s operating model could affect continuity. \nCompliance With Future Regulatory Requirements:\nSupported Housing Regulatory Oversight Act requirements may introduce new licensing and monitoring duties. Failure by the provider to comply could impact service continuity. ",
