## Summary

The Council of the Borough of Bournemouth is seeking to appoint a supplier for the "Provision of Housing First Support Service." This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, having concluded the tender period on 5 June 2017. The contract is anticipated to begin on 1 October 2017, with a project value of £242,500 for an initial duration of two years, extendable for up to three additional years.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in housing services and support for individuals experiencing multiple complex needs, such as homelessness. Organisations specialising in community services or social care, including SMEs, are well-positioned to compete, especially if they have a proven track record in housing support and engagement with vulnerable populations. Businesses interested in this field should consider their capacity to provide intensive wrap-around support and develop effective exit strategies for service users transitioning towards independence.

## Notice

Bournemouth Council is looking to appoint a supplier to deliver a Housing First Service. The Service offers support for individuals who have a history of entrenched rough sleeping, who may have a history of failed accommodation placements and/or have struggled to engage with previous offers of support. The Service Model offers immediate, secure long-term housing without any requirement to show capacity for tenancy readiness. In order to facilitate support, six units of accommodation will be sourced by the Service Commissioner in line with the minimum requirements of the Service Specification. The Service will provide intensive wrap-around support to individuals who have multiple complex needs, which may include substance or alcohol misuse, diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues, and anti-social behaviour/offending behaviour. Support will focus on harm minimisation and engagement with substance misuse, mental health and/or other appropriate support agencies. Support will decrease as the Service User moves towards independence. When the Service User no longer requires Housing First support, the Service Provider will develop an exit strategy to ensure that the Service User can successfully remain in the accommodation provided. The Housing First support resource will be transferred to a new Service User. The length of the contract is for two years with the option to extend the contract annually for a further three years. Therefore, if all extensions were taken, the full length of the contract would be for five years. It is anticipated that the contract will start on 1 October 2017. TUPE will apply to this contract and needs to be considered. Additional information: Suppliers should search for the contract opportunity through Supplying the South West.
