Notice Title

The Provision of Housing Support Services for Single Homeless People & Childless Couples Who may have Complex Needs

Notice Description

The Service to be provided by the Provider is the provision of a Housing Support Service, as defined by Law and Guidance, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples ("Service Users") who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation.

Lot Information

The Service to be provided by the Provider is the provision of a Housing Support Service, as defined by Law and Guidance, primarily for single homeless people or childless couples ("Service Users") who may have complex needs, residing in supported, interim accommodation. The Provider will also provide a Housing Management Service as defined in Law and Guidance for the accommodation at specific Premises and will enter into such associated lease arrangements with the owner landlord of the Premises as may be necessary for this purpose. Such Housing Management Services do not form part of this Contract but are required to be delivered by the Provider in conjunction with the Service to ensure its long-term sustainability, and will directly impact upon Council budgets for the provision of homeless services and the amount of government funding available to support the service. The Council looks to maximise the monies available to better assist more Service Users. The way any Provider makes formal arrangements for the lease of the Premises will directly impact upon the Council and may result in higher costs to the Council. In respect of any subsidy shortfall however, while the Council cannot mandate how a Provider arranges their commercial business, the Council seeks to maximise the funds available to it to provide appropriate services and to allow maximum recovery, by the Council from the UK Government, of Housing Benefit paid for Service Users assessed as needing Housing Support Services. Tenderers would require to arrange that they are either a Registered Social Landlord ("RSL") and enter into the occupancy arrangement (lease between themselves and the Service Users) or alternatively contract with a third party who is a RSL and that third party RSL would enter into lease arrangements with the Service Users and make separate contractual arrangements directly with the Tenderer.. The Provider shall ensure that the Service is accessible to Service Users seven days a week, 24 hours per day, 52 weeks per year, irrespective of local or bank holidays.
