Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Camden Council is extending its contract for the Rough Sleeping Hub, a 16-bed supported short stay hostel for verified rough sleepers with complex needs in Camden. The current contract, originally awarded in September 2022 and set to expire on 31 March 2025, will be extended by 12 months until 1 April 2026. This extension is fully funded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government's Rough Sleeping Initiative grant. The council is currently in the "award" stage of this process, and the contract extension is set to be finalised on 7 February 2025, following a mandatory 10-day standstill period that began on 21 February 2025. The procurement method used for this extension is "limited," specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice.

This contract extension provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work services with accommodation, particularly those experienced in supporting individuals with complex needs. The current supplier, Single Homeless Project, has a proven track record and the infrastructure necessary for such specialised services. Businesses looking to grow in the social services sector, particularly those with experience in housing and supporting vulnerable populations, could find opportunities for collaboration and future bidding advantageous. This tender underscores the importance of robust service delivery and effective engagement with rough sleepers, creating a pathway for sustainable impact and sector growth.

Notice Title

Extension to contract for Rough Sleeping Hub

Notice Description

The Rough Sleeping Hub is a 16-bed supported short stay hostel for verified rough sleepers in Camden with complex needs. The principal aim of the hub is to provide immediate safe shelter for people verified as rough seeping in the borough and to ensure they engage positively with other offers of service to provide them with a route away from rough sleeping. The service is fully funded from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government's Rough Sleeping Initiative grant. The Contracting Authority is not awarding a new contract, but is proposing a short term extension of 12 months for the services to continue. See section II2.4 for further detail.
