This open procedure, classified under CPV code 85000000, invites tenders for a supported accommodation service designed for former rough sleepers with complex needs. The procurement deadline for tender submissions is set for 12:00 on 7th April 2021, with the contract anticipated to commence on 1st October 2021 and run for three years, possibly extending for an additional two years. The project has a fixed budget of £3,500,000, requiring a building located within two miles of the Square Mile to ensure accessibility for the targeted service users. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social work and accommodation services, particularly those who are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can provide suitable premises with the required specifications—specifically, a building with 25 to 30+ single bedrooms offering space separation for diverse user needs—will be well-positioned to compete. This initiative not only aims to enhance support for vulnerable populations but also opens avenues for businesses to collaborate in addressing social challenges, potentially leading to long-term contracts and service delivery opportunities in the public sector. ## Notice The City of London Corporation (The City) is undertaking a 1 stage procurement process in relation to a High Support Hostel for Rough Sleepers (the 'Service'). The Service will commission a supported accommodation service for former rough sleepers with high/complex support needs who need to live in a supported environment for a period after living on the streets. The Service will support rough sleepers to move off the streets, have their immediate health, support and care needs met, promote recovery and stabilisation, leading to resettlement into suitable long-term accommodation. The procurement seeks to attract tenders from suitably qualified support providers who can offer a building (of an appropriate size, standard and location) as part of the tender from which they can offer this service. The building needs to be within easy reach of the Square Mile (within 2 miles of any boundary) because rough sleepers from the City may not be willing to move into accommodation that is too far away from their sleep site. The building has to have 25 - 30+ single bedrooms so as to allow for sufficient economies of scale, given the amount of support that will need to be provided on site. Ideally, the building should provide some separation of the space so as to allow younger, more chaotic rough sleepers, to be slightly separated from the older rough sleepers who are more likely to have mental health needs Organisations should note that the total fixed budget for this Service is PS3,500,000 and is based on a core budget of 700,000 GBP per annum. The duration of the contract is three (3) years, with the option to extend up to two (2) further years in annual increments. The Contract is intended to commence 1st October 2021 to 30th September 2024.
