UPDATE 14 Sept 2026: NEW DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 10AM on this Friday the 18 Sept 2026. Trafford Council - Provision of Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation - Soft Market Testing. Please note that this is not a call for competition. This is a soft market testing exercise is undertaken on behalf of Trafford Council under the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023. Purpose: Part IV of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 mandates a statutory duty on local authorities to provide safe accommodation for people fleeing domestic abuse. In Trafford we currently provide safe accommodation in the form of refuges for women, families and male survivors of domestic abuse. We also provide dispersed accommodation for some survivors when they move on from refuges. Trafford Council are undertaking this soft market testing exercise to fully understand what the market can offer and the challenges in procuring and setting up this service. It is hoped that this will be an opportunity for us to obtain an insight of how participants might approach delivery of the service, and how they might address circumstances that may impact on the service. It will also help us to further understand the market. We anticipate that should a tender exercise be undertaken, the maximum annual value for the contract might be in the region of £357,559, and the duration to be 5 years, with an initial period of 12 months with the option to extend for period(s) of up to 48 months. We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from participants with the relevant expertise and experience to assist us in determining the feasibility of this project by answering the questions that are published on the Chest portal - Project Ref DN827443.

The University of Portsmouth operates from a multi-building urban campus in the centre of Portsmouth, with a diverse estate comprising teaching spaces, laboratories, offices, research facilities, student services and social spaces. The University does not currently have a systematic, data-driven understanding of how its buildings and rooms are used. Timetabling data tells us when spaces are scheduled, but not whether anyone is in them, or how many people are present compared to room capacity, and whilst we monitor attendance in certain sessions this relies on physical registration by identity card and reader resulting in a high degree of inaccuracy. This gap has two practical consequences: • Energy waste: spaces are being heated, lit and ventilated regardless of whether they are occu-pied. Without occupancy data, the University cannot identify which spaces are consuming energy unnecessarily or target interventions effectively. • Space planning based on assumptions: decisions about room allocation, timetabling, and future estate investment are made without reliable utilisation evidence. The University needs accurate, granular data to make better decisions about how its estate is used. The University seeks to address both problems by deploying an occupancy sensor and monitoring solution across an initial set of campus buildings. The solution will provide real-time and historical data on room-level occupancy and headcount, accessible through a web-based reporting portal and integrated with the University's existing data analytics environment.
