With a total procurement value of £675,000, this open tender was published on 12 April 2019 and remains active, inviting submissions until the deadline on 16 May 2019. The primary objective of this service, classified under social work and related services, is to assist vulnerable adults who have been homeless, enabling them to access stable accommodation and improve their health and wellbeing over a contract period running from 21 November 2019 to 20 November 2022. Prospective bidders should prepare to engage with the buyer, LGSS, located at Civic Offices, 1 Saxon Gate East, Milton Keynes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Milton Keynes Council - Housing First Support Service

Notice Description

The Housing First Support Service will provide individual support to people who have a history of sleeping rough in Milton Keynes, who have a Personalised Housing Plan (as defined in the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017) and have been offered, or are waiting on an offer of, accommodation through Milton Keynes Council (MKC). The purpose of this support service is to enable people, often entrenched in a rough sleeping lifestyle, to take up the opportunity of a more settled way of life within their own accommodation to improve their health and wellbeing. The tenant's right to remain in their accommodation will be dependent on their adherence to the terms and conditions of their tenancy or license agreement. Whilst people will be strongly encouraged to engage with the Housing First Support Service, their right to remain in their accommodation will not be dependent on their engagement with this service. People will be adults, who have recourse to public funds and have a local connection. They will be people who have been homeless and sleeping rough in Milton Keynes and have a need for support. It is expected that many people will have a number of complex needs. People who are living with or who want to live with a dependent child, or wish to be housed outside of Milton Keynes, will be outside the remit of this service.
