The City of London Corporation is currently undertaking a procurement process for "The Provision of a High Support Hostel for Rough Sleepers," focusing on health and social work services. This open procedure, classified under CPV code 85000000, invites tenders for a supported accommodation service designed for former rough sleepers with complex needs.

This initiative not only aims to enhance support for vulnerable populations but also opens avenues for businesses to collaborate in addressing social challenges, potentially leading to long-term contracts and service delivery opportunities in the public sector.

Notice Title

The Provision of a High Support Hostel for Rough Sleepers

Notice Description

The City of London Corporation (The City) is undertaking a 1 stage procurement process in relation to a High Support Hostel for Rough Sleepers (the 'Service'). The Service will commission a supported accommodation service for former rough sleepers with high/complex support needs who need to live in a supported environment for a period after living on the streets. The Service will support rough sleepers to move off the streets, have their immediate health, support and care needs met, promote recovery and stabilisation, leading to resettlement into suitable long-term accommodation. The procurement seeks to attract tenders from suitably qualified support providers who can offer a building (of an appropriate size, standard and location) as part of the tender from which they can offer this service. The building needs to be within easy reach of the Square Mile (within 2 miles of any boundary) because rough sleepers from the City may not be willing to move into accommodation that is too far away from their sleep site. The building has to have 25 - 30+ single bedrooms so as to allow for sufficient economies of scale, given the amount of support that will need to be provided on site. Ideally, the building should provide some separation of the space so as to allow younger, more chaotic rough sleepers, to be slightly separated from the older rough sleepers who are more likely to have mental health needs Organisations should note that the total fixed budget for this Service is PS3,500,000 and is based on a core budget of 700,000 GBP per annum. The duration of the contract is three (3) years, with the option to extend up to two (2) further years in annual increments.
