The Premises will be staffed 24 hours a day with office space and interview rooms, a medical room for specialist interventions by health care services and an IT suite. 3 flexible training spaces (capable of becoming one big space) will provide facilities for various support activities, skills development and one off intervention services, and also to accommodate winter/bad weather habitual rough sleepers. A large storage void is provided in the basement. A workshop accessible from the outside is available for targeted training in practical work-based skills. A communal laundry and training kitchen is also provided, as well as a smoking shelter and dog kennels in the gardens. The Premises is spread over a lower ground floor (rear garden level), upper ground floor (street level) and a first floor, with communal facilities on the upper ground floor (street level). These facilities will also be available to specified clients outside the project, and to external agencies to use for the benefit of preventing homelessness and enabling change. The building will be access controlled via a thumb print reader system to control access into the various areas. The Landlord of the Premises is Home Group, a registered society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (registered number 22981R) and with the Regulator of Social Housing (No. L3076).

Step 2 - Excluded and Excludable Suppliers The Council will confirm that neither the Supplier or any Connected Person(s), Associated Persons or proposed sub-contractors are listed on the Cabinet Office Debarment List. To the extent that any such entities are listed on the Debarment List, the Council will consider whether to exclude the Supplier from participating in the procurement process. Step 3 - Conditions of Participation The suitability of Suppliers will be assessed in accordance with the specified Conditions of Participation contained within the Procurement Specific Questionnaire. This will be marked purely on a pass or fail basis to ensure that the Supplier is able to meet the Council's minimum requirements. Tenderers who do not indicate that they meet the Council's minimum Conditions of Participation may be excluded from the process at this stage.
