This service aims to offer specialised support to individuals facing homelessness in the area, categorised under community health services. The contract, valued at £421,000, was formally awarded on 1 April 2025, and will cover a 12-month service period starting from the same date. Located in Camden, UKI31 region, this procurement falls into the services category and was completed through a direct award process without prior competition.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses engaged in community health services, especially those experienced in providing drug and alcohol support to vulnerable groups.
