The procurement falls under the services category, specifically business and management consultancy services, with the tender period closing on 9th August 2018. The contract is expected to commence on 30th September 2018 and will run until the end of December 2018. This tender process is being conducted electronically via the SE Shared Services Procurement eSourcing portal to streamline submissions and clarifications. This tender represents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in homelessness services, housing policy, and social welfare. With a notable increase in homeless households, companies that can offer innovative, efficient strategies for managing these challenges will be particularly well-positioned to compete. SMEs that have demonstrated expertise in public sector consultancy or that have previously engaged in similar reviews could find this contract to be a valuable avenue for growth and collaboration within the local government framework. ## Notice The number of statutory homeless households in all forms of temporary accommodation, where we owe a full housing duty has increased from just over 300 at the beginning of the year (2017/18) to over 460 (as at July 2018). This is an unprecedented increase in numbers and with capacity remaining the same in Strategic Housing, the projected overspend is in the region of PS1m and therefore the opportunity to increase resources to manage this demand is minimal. With a new Act implemented on 3rd April 2018 and government attention on rough sleeping in the borough, it is imperative that Strategic Housing review their approach to managing the escalating problem before homelessness is experienced at London levels. This review is timely. The Council is about to reintroduce a Star Chamber approach to budgeting and Strategic Housing need to increase resources in particular areas to ensure first in class services are delivered to its residents. We therefore seek appropriately experienced and skilled consultants to undertake this review.
