Notice Information

Notice Title

Bury Rough Sleepers Service

Notice Description

Rough Sleeping is the most extreme and visible form of homelessness. It is a fundamental issue for society and can impact upon housing, community safety, health and the well being of individuals. Bury Council has tackled the issue of rough sleeping by funding a Rough Sleeper's Service. This service works with rough sleepers to get them off the street, into accommodation and linked into support services. This service has helped to keep the number of people actually sleeping rough in Bury very low. Bury Council is seeking a provider to provide a Rough Sleepers service that will support rough sleepers to move off the streets as quickly as possible into appropriate accommodation, either supported or suitable independent accommodation. The service also includes a Cold Weather provision. This is an arrangement between agencies to ensure that when the temperatures fall or the wind chill is below zero degrees for three consecutive nights, rough sleepers in Bury are not at risk of dying on the streets due to the cold weather and have access to safe shelter. In addition to Rough Sleepers and the Cold Weather provision, the service will also work with people who are begging in Bury. The service will be required to develop excellent partnership and joint working arrangements with relevant agencies in Bury to deliver positive outcomes for both rough sleepers and beggars. Even though there are specific requirements for a Rough Sleepers service, the specification is designed to strongly encourage providers to develop innovative approaches to tackle street living. It welcomes new models of support delivery in a changing environment of complex needs and chaotic lifestyles. The service will operate for 24 months with a proposed start date of 1st February 2018 to 31st January 2020, with an option to extend by up to an additional 12 months. Any extension will be dependent upon the continued availability of funding and performance of the Provider during the contract period. If you wish to express an interest in this opportunity please visit The Chest tendering portal at www.the-chest.org.uk. Once you have registered your interest you will be able to access the tender documentation. The closing time for completed quotation submissions, via The Chest, is 5pm on Thursday 9th November 2017.
