Summary of the contracting process

The Dorset Council is seeking a provider for the "Rough Sleeper Assertive Outreach and Support Service" contract, which is classified under health and social work services. This open procurement process aims to support rough sleepers throughout the Dorset area, with a contract value of £838,000. The contract will commence on 1 April 2022 and run until 31 March 2024, with the possibility of extending for an additional two years. Interested suppliers should note that the tender period concluded on 21 January 2022, and it requires engagement with various stakeholders to ensure proper outreach and accommodation for vulnerable individuals.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with experience in trauma-informed care and outreach services. Companies that are flexible and innovative, particularly those with a proven track record in providing supportive housing solutions and outreach for vulnerable populations, would be well-suited to compete. This initiative not only aims to reduce rough sleeping but also seeks to generate sustainable business relationships and outcomes for successful bidders who understand the complexities of working within this sensitive sector.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Rough Sleeper Assertive Outreach and Support Service

Notice Description

The service concerns the delivery of a rough sleeper assertive outreach contract across the Dorset Council area. The primary objectives of the contract are to achieve sustainable outcomes for rough sleepers and a reduction in numbers. Assertive outreach engages pro-actively with rough sleepers encouraging moves into appropriate housing for safety, well-being and recovery. Routes off the street are supported by joint working and collaborative case planning. If someone refuses assistance or no route is identified, outreach teams are assertive - persistent and positive - continuing to engage and offer the right support until an offer is accepted or a suitable exit route found. We are seeking a provider with a track record of providing trauma informed and person-centred rough sleeper outreach services. The awarded provider will be flexible and innovative in their approach to meet the needs of rough sleepers across the Dorset Council area, identifying people in rural locations where people tend to be more hidden, hostels and temporary accommodation absent, travel distances significant and public transport lacking, while ensuring cover is available for the inevitable peaks of rough sleepers in the summer months, particularly in coastal areas. The appointed contractor will maintain established outreach services and TUPE staff from the existing provider where applicable. The contract period will be from 01 April 2022 to 31 March 2024, with two options to extend of 12 months each making a total potential contract period of 4 years.
