Relevant operational capability includes managing accommodation leases or occupied buildings, coordinating day-to-day facilities and resident support, maintaining safe and reliable services, and helping residents move on to longer-term accommodation. The service is established and supports a substantial annual cohort, so bidders should have the staffing, management systems and capacity to deliver consistently.
