Summary of the contracting process

The Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is initiating a procurement process for the service titled "Rough Sleeping Outreach and Navigator Procurement." The project falls under the industry categories of housing services and social work services with accommodation, and it will be implemented in the UKD region of the United Kingdom. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with the relevant procurement notice published on 11 August 2026. The tender offers opportunities for submission until 23 September 2026, with enquiries being accepted up to 18 September 2026. An open procedure with a weighted focus on quality, cost, and social value has been adopted for this service-oriented procurement. The project aims to commence on 9 October 2026 and is structured on a renewable 1+1+1 contract spanning potentially until 2031, should funding arrangements evolve as anticipated.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating within the housing and social services sectors, particularly those with expertise in delivering outreach and support services aimed at reducing rough sleeping.

Notice Title

Rough Sleeping Outreach and Navigator Procurement

Notice Description

Commission an RSI Navigator service using grant monies awarded to the council. The most recent grant award of RSI Navigator funding is made by GMCA and runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. The RSI Navigator service ensures that we are working towards ending rough sleeping within the borough and is based on assisting with the delivery of the three principles identified in the Oldham Rough Sleeping Plan; 1. Prevention - Stopping people sleeping rough for the first time. 2. Intervention - Support to those currently sleeping rough to move off the streets. 3. Recovery - Support to those who have slept rough to ensure they don't return to the streets The appointed RSI Navigator provider is tasked with sourcing accommodation and building effective networks of support for rough sleepers in the borough. The RSI Navigator provider is key to tenancy sustainment for the cohort of identified entrenched rough sleepers. The ongoing support provided by the RSI Navigator provider continues with service users through their journey in temporary accommodation schemes such as A Bed Every Night (ABEN) and stays with them when they are housed in an independent tenancy, in either the social or private sector.

Lot Information
