Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation has completed a procurement process for the provision of a Low to Medium Support Project/Hostel for Rough Sleepers. This initiative falls within the health and social work services sector and aims to provide supported accommodation for individuals transitioning from homelessness. The procurement, carried out via an open procedure, had a budget of £900,000 and involved submitting tenders by 25th January 2021. The contract commenced on 1st April 2021 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2024, with an option to extend for an additional two years. The location for the service provision is within three miles of the Square Mile in London, to ensure accessibility for those in need.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those skilled in providing supported accommodation and care for vulnerable populations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector organisations with experience in managing similar facilities would be particularly well-suited to participate. By engaging in such contracts, these organisations can expand their service offerings, enhance community support initiatives, and potentially increase their operational capacity, all while contributing to social welfare in London.

Notice Title

The Provision of a Low to Medium Support Project/Hostel for Rough Sleepers

Notice Description

**PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE AND THE OPPORTUNITY IS CLOSED** The City of London Corporation (The City) undertook a 1 stage procurement process in relation to a low to medium support project/hostel for Rough Sleepers (the 'Service'). The Service will commission a supported accommodation service for former rough sleepers with low to medium support needs who need to live in a supported environment for a period after living on the streets. The procurement sought to attract tenders from suitably qualified support providers who could offer a building (of an appropriate size, standard and location) as part of the tender for this service. The building needed to be within easy reach of the Square Mile (within 3 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, and outreach workers who will be taking rough sleepers to the service cannot afford to waste time travelling long distances. The building has to have between 15-25 single bedrooms so as to allow for sufficient economies of scale but not to be so large as to become difficult to manage. The Specification made clear the number and type of communal facilities also required. The duration of the contract is three (3) years, with the option to extend up to two (2) further years in annual increments. The Contract is intended to commence 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2024.
